After more than two years of closure, the archaeological site of Tonin\u00e1<\/mark><\/a><\/strong>, in southeastern Mexico<\/mark><\/a>, has reopened to the public as of March 21. Coordinated by the Ministry of Culture and the National Institute of Anthropology and History<\/strong> (INAH<\/mark><\/a>), this reopening once again highlights one of the most distinctive Maya complexes in the state of Chiapas<\/strong>, away from the country\u2019s most visited circuits.<\/p>\n\n

Located near Ocosingo<\/strong>, the city is reclaiming its place in the region\u2019s cultural offering at a time when travelers are increasingly drawn to lesser-known sites that complement Mexico\u2019s major archaeological destinations.<\/p>\n\n

A site restored and reorganized for visitors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The reopening of Tonin\u00e1 comes with significant restoration and development work. Interventions focused on cleaning and consolidating the structures, as well as rehabilitating access points. <\/p>\n\n

Several key areas were involved, including the ball court<\/strong>, the Temple of War<\/strong>, and the main platforms of the Acropolis<\/strong>. Conservation work was also carried out on altars, tombs, and various architectural elements. <\/p>\n\n

At the same time, improvements were made to visitor infrastructure, including the installation of a temporary wooden bridge to facilitate movement, as well as the refurbishment of certain service areas and technical facilities.<\/p>\n\n
