The archaeological site of Kabah is located 65 miles south of Merida. The outstanding building is the Codz Poop (Rolled Mat), the facades of which are completely covered by masks of the long nosed rain god, Chac. Fifteen years ago the upturned noses were all intact; today, many are missingtaken as souvenirs by thoughtless sightseers. A large corbeled arch at Kabah signals the beginning of the sacbe (white road) that once carried Maya religious processions to Uxmal, 12 miles away.
