Overview
Edzná is a large Maya archaeological site dating from 400 BC, once a major city-state known for advanced irrigation systems and terraced farming that allowed it to grow larger than neighboring cities. The impressive Building of Five Stories—still climbable—offers panoramic views of the surrounding jungle canopy.
