Ground has been broken for the construction of the “Museum and Palace of the Maya Civilization” in Yaxcabá. Yucatan Gov. Ivonne Ortega Pacheco described it as “like Disneyland, but with culture.” She went on to call the project as the biggest being undertaken by her administration.
Press reports noted that a request for bids from construction companies has yet to be made and no date for completion yet announced. Indeed, from press reports and statements from the Yucatan government, it is not clear exactly where Yaxcabá is. Apparently, however, it is in the general area of Chichen Itza and Valladolid.
