Holtún

Holtún is Located on the road to Yaxhá from Flores, and 10 minutes walking from the main paved highway, Holtún is a mid size, Classic Maya site that was under Tikal's dominance .  Holtún means "Head of stone" or "Stone Hole", was occupied from 300 to 890 AD. The site counts with a group of triadic pattern, the Acropolis with pyramids and one ball court. A looter's trench  in one of the buildings left exposed two large masks, one zoomorphous and another anthropomorphous. In the substructure it was possible to  observe other large masks painted in red, but now the access tunnel is closed to avoid the deterioration of stuccos, and can be visited with the guards permit.
