Fine Stone Work at Becan

This main temple at Becan shows some of the finest techniques of Maya stone working. The stones were carved and placed to fit precisely and form a solid foundation for this impressive temple. Becan and numerous other Maya sites are within an hour or so drive from Laguna Bacalar. The various resorts and hotels can make arrangements to visit them. Even in high tourist season, they are seldom visited, so they can be explored leisurely within the serenity of the jungle surroundings.
