This year, the INAH will continue with the Program for the Improvement of Archaeological Sites, as part of which work is being done on visitor service centers, which in the case of Dzibilchaltún is already ready and the archaeological zone is open to the public; in Chichén Itzá there is already good progress.
It will also seek to consolidate a large project focused on the protection of underwater heritage, which will include a museum in Sisal.
Anna Goycoolea Artís, director of the INAH Yucatán Center, states that in 2025 the institution will continue to strengthen its work of preservation and enhancement of archaeological sites and historical monuments.
In the case of Dzibilchaltún, she highlights that after months of closure to guarantee the safety of people during the construction of the Visitor Service Center (Catvi) and the museum, the site is now open to the public.
Once the museum is completed, a dissemination campaign will be launched to promote its appreciation and knowledge.
Regarding Chichén Itzá, he said that they are starting the year with the appointment of Guadalupe Espinosa as director.
This year, all the works of the Program for the Improvement of Archaeological Sites will be inaugurated, which will allow for better attention and operation of the archaeological sites of the Puuc Route, Uxmal, Dzibilchaltún, Chichén Itzá, and Ek Balam.
The work in some archaeological sites is already well advanced and others are finished, as is the case of Catvi in Dzibilchaltún, and several visitor service areas throughout the Puuc Route are about to be finished.
In Chichén Itzá, the Visitor Service Center is very advanced, and a complete restructuring of the operation of the archaeological site will be carried out.
A few days ago, more than 19 thousand people arrived in a single day, breaking the record of visitors to this archaeological site.
