Sayil was another important Mayan city on the Ruta Puuc and its name means ‘place of the ants’, so take a hint and wear closed shoes.The impressive stone structure, the Great Palace, was likely a residence for members of the royal family.In addition to the palace, there is a lookout structure but it is not well-preserved.The site was an important agricultural centre and once supported around 10,000 people.Visitors are not permitted to climb any of the structures at this archaeological site.
