Chunlimón is a little-known Mayan ruins in Mexico . It is located on the Yucatán peninsula in the state of Campeche , about 20 kilometers east of the village of Kankabchen. It is attributable to the Chenes style . The first short report and a photograph are thanks to Teobert Maler . The part of a snake mouth entrance with a cascade of Chac masks is preserved. The very precise masonry, executed with minimal joints, is reminiscent of the masonry technique of the Río Bec style, the center of which is around 80 kilometers further south. In addition to the structure described, some heavily dilapidated buildings and a large pyramid are known. No further archaeological investigations have taken place in Chunlimón.
