Cuca is the name of a
Mayan civilization pre-Columbian archaeological site located near the town of
Tixpéhual, in
Yucatán,
Mexico.
The site occupies an area of approximately 10 ha, where dozens of structures and their remains are scattered, surrounded by a low wall. Among these vestiges, the existence of a mound containing a relatively important temple whose walls can be seen pictorial residues is recorded.
The site is crossed by a
sacbé that would have united in the postclassic period (
Mesoamerican chronology to which the site corresponds) the population of Tixpéhual with the old city of
T'Hó
Ti'ho is Mayan settlement located in the northwest of the Yucatán Peninsula, commonly indicated also with the alternative name of T'hó (in short), Ichcansiho, Ichkanzihóo or Ichcaanzihó.
