    Xel-Ha ruins are a minor archaeological site located across the highway from Xel-Ha park. The city is under excavation due to road construction. It has one temple complex where you may see magnificent frescoes or Mayan paintings. Some of the best preserved are on the "Temple of the Birds". There is a beautiful but fading painting of a Teotihuacan warrior in full regalia. Xel Ha
