Riviera Maya, Q.R. — The archaeological sites of Kohunlich, Dzibanché, El Meco and Chacchoben have reopened in Quintana Roo. According to the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the sites now feature new infrastructure.
The Ministry of Culture of the Government of Mexico, through the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), announces the reopening of four archaeological sites in Quintana Roo.
The General Director of the INAH, Diego Prieto Hernández, says the sites feature new infrastructure in their service units, trails, parking lots and signage. Also, the pre-Hispanic monuments of some sites were the subject of various restoration actions within the framework of the Program for the Improvement of Archaeological Zones (Promeza).
El Meco in Cancun was also updated with a new pedestrian walkway to the beach, which will complement the experience of its visitors.
The anthropologist explained that after the work of the Promeza project, the archaeological sites have transformed their image and functionality with new bus stops and modern facilities, and updated information sheets based on new data derived from research work.
Prieto Hernández says these improvements will allow for a more meaningful experience for tourists, both those already familiar with Quintana Roo’s heritage, as well as those who are visiting it for the first time.
