  3. Chuburna
    1h

Then, get your camera ready for a visit to one of the region’s most talked-about attractions: the striking statue of Poseidon in nearby Progreso. This Greek god of the sea became an internet sensation after a hilarious local legend suggested that his arrival had angered Chaac, the ancient Maya god of rain and water, sparking a mythical showdown between two powerful deities!
