In this paper I will offer a brief ethnographic overview of the role archaeological ruins (known as cuyos) play in the worldview of indigenous groups from the Peninsula of Yucatan, and in particular, of those inhabiting the region North of the Camino Real in Campeche. Using as evidence the oral testimony from various informants, I will focus on the function of these cuyos as spaces inhabited by a number of sacred entities who are profoundly linked to the ancient population of the Mayab. I will also explore the relationship these sacred spaces have with the local h-meno'ob (ritual specialists) who seek them out as seats of power and knowledge, in order to carry out their functions as intermediaries between men and divinities.A lo largo del p...
