Kinichná is a Mayan vestige that is part of Dzibanché, the most important city in the south of Quintana Roo. They are only 2 kilometers from each other, with views of both that you will not want to miss.
This area adjacent to the state of Campeche offers some of the most impressive Mayan cities in the Yucatan Peninsula. If you like stones I recommend that you visit Kohunlich, Calakmul, Chicanná, Hormiguero, Balamkú, Becán. Travelers really enjoy this area.
VISIT KINICHNÁ
Kinichna it was part of a pre-Hispanic settlement along with Tutil, Lamay and Dzibanché, this being the most important nucleus. the vestiges of Lamay they are seen from the road between the two cities.
Today you can visit Kinichná and Dzibanché, which are located 2 kilometers from each other. From Dzibanché you can see the beautiful Acropolis of Kinichná emerging in the jungle.

KinichnaDespite being a minor remnant, its beautiful acropolis is a great excuse to go. Its beauty lies in its symmetry that makes it majestic, a building that makes you turn around. You can go up to the upper level, where the views lead you towards Dzibanché.
Funeral offerings from two burials have been found inside the Kinichná acropolis. There are many looting and losses that ancient civilizations have suffered, the Mesoamerican ones alike. A market that moves a lot of money fed by the unlimited greed of the human being.
The majority of Mayan art can be seen in private and foreign collections, something that should be by moral right available to all audiences. These are traces of the History of Humanity, that of everyone, not that of a few. Of shame so much looting.
Kinichna It is a Mayan name means House of the Sun. The extraordinary ability of the Maya in the development of a very precise astronomical and calendrical knowledge, one of the great achievements of this civilization, is well known.
The ancient Mayan cities are built recreating their cosmological vision and the arrangement of the stars in the celestial vault. The Sun is the fundamental axis of this knowledge that the Mayans represent on their buildings on dates such as solstices and equinoxes.
La archaeoastronomy es one of the spectacles that we can observe in the Mayan world where beauty and knowledge come together to form a whole. If one day you have the opportunity, go to cities such as Chichén Itzá, Mayapán, Dzibilchaltún or Edzná.
I hope you enjoy all the beauty of entering the Mayan world. The environment of Kinichná is another excuse, the walks through the ruins in the jungle I love.

Hello Sandra; thank you very much for all the info you send, the day 12 / 11 I'm coming and all this is very useful, since not going through agencies to megahotels the idea is to be on beaches, travel and learn. That makes me want to know places with my wife.
Thank you.
GREETINGS
ANDRES AND MARIA
Andrés, thank you very much for the comment, it is always encouraging to know that you help people prepare their trip, that is my motivation. If I can give you information about something specific do not hesitate to contact me.
Good time to travel, you save yourself from the great heat. Sure you enjoy the trip.
Best regards,
thanks for the inf. I was looking and searching, sincerely the tour is very expensive, and qq que I find there is public transport, although I do not leave very often but it is the economic alternative, I hope soon this year of January be there in dzibanche, konhulich and kinichna, greetings and thanks
Thanks for your comment Julio Cesar. In this area there are always collective taxis that connect one population with another, you can look for it in this way, even if transportation is not so direct, it does arrive. These areas are fabulous, have a great time here 🙂
