Posted By : martinflores/ 56 0

It was one of the most important Mayan settlements of the Chenes region. And from the year 300 AD, its first settlers sat on a hill, where later they would build residences, more important public religious buildings. The slopes of Cerro were conditioned with terraces and platforms with dwelling houses of perishable materials. Several Aljibes or chultunes were built on the ground for the storage, storage and distribution of rainwater.

Hochob could depend on Dzibilnocac podés Santa Rosa Xtampac that had already acquired regional importance in the classic period. Its buildings were constructed between the years 600 to 900 d. C. But the greatest splendor was between 850 and 1000 AD. And today it retains buildings with large frontal masks and towers that characterize the Chenes region.
