Chetumal - Museo de la Cultura Maya

Apart from its one or two old timber houses, modern Chetumal has little to distinguish it. Mention should be made of the Museo de la Cultura Maya on av. Héroes, which gives an insight into the art of architecture, religion and daily life of the Maya people. Recently also tourism has been expanding, exploiting Chetumal's potential as a base for excursions to the numerous archaeological sites in the vicinity and also the attractive coastal lagoons and reefs.
