Observatory named the snail in Spanish due to its interior spiral staircase.

Not the most beautiful of all the sites but definitely really cool!

If you are here, give people a chance to make a photo! Although not a nice building, it is worth to habe a nice photo of it!

It's just a bit of a walk from the main entrance.

Es impresionante su arquitectura . Pero el hecho de no poder acercarte más como que frustra disfrutarlo tanto y Ku qué decir los turistas nacionales que se suben porque no hay suficiente vigilancia

Majestuoso lugar, lleva tu toalla, busca la sombra y empecemos a filosofar sobre la cultura maya.

Obligatorio venir a conocer el Observatorio . En los solsticios también ocurren maravillas en este lugar.
