Labná
A Puuc site famous for its ornate Maya arch, whose sides are carved to look like thatched huts. It is one of the classic images of Maya architecture.
Labná is about 8 kilometers east of Sayil and is the last site on the usual Puuc Route itinerary. Its most famous feature is a ceremonial arch linking two courtyards. The arch is a corbelled vault typical of Maya architecture, and the lintels on both sides are carved to look like Maya thatched huts. The symmetrical design is one of the most frequently cited images of Maya architecture. The site also has a palace decorated with rain god masks, a white road, and a pyramid called the 'Lookout' (El Mirador). Few visitors come here, and a visit takes about an hour. Admission is sold separately (check locally). From here you can continue on to Loltún Cave.
