Xtampu – also spelled Xtambu or Xtampo – is divided into two sites. The first site consists of restored salt ponds where Maya from all over the peninsula trekked
to obtain salted fish.

The second section is fifteen minutes inland. Numerous structures have been
partially restored by Spanish archaeologists. The structures are low rise but high
enough that from at least one pyramid you can see coastal estuaries.
ou will also see a mix of cultures where the Conquistadores destroyed a pyramid and erected a small church on the base.
