The Unesco World Heritage site of Uchmal is as spectacular as Chichen Itza, but fortunately there are not as many tourists here. Only the ubiquitous lizards disturb the idyllic atmosphere of sightseeing. There are pyramids, palaces and temples in Uchmal, but what caught my attention the most was the Quadrilateral of the Nuns, a magnificent royal residence built in the Puuc style by the Spanish.
