El CaracolEstructura conocida también como "El Observatorio" debido a su forma y a algunas posibles asociaciones astrales, ya que para las tres ventanas de la parte superior se han
propuesto una serie de alineaciones relacionadas con eventos astronómicos, entre ellos con el planeta Venus y la puesta del Sol en los equinoccios. El nombre de "El Caracol" se debe a unas escaleras en espiral que conducen a la parte superior del edificio. De 1925 a 1931 fue explorado por la
Institución Carnegie y se detectó una serie de seis sobreposiciones; se cree que su construcción data de una época intermedia entre el Clásico
Terminal y el Posclásico Temprano. Las grandes zanjas en sus plataformas superiores son calas de excavación consolidadas con fines didácticos.Maya-Yucateco:Le Juubo'Pak'il k'ajóolta'an xan je'ex u kúuchil u yila'al yóok'ol kaab wa "El observatorio" tyo'olal u wiinklil yéetel xan yaan u yil yéetel yóok'ol kaab, tumen tia'al u yóoxp'éelil paakat joolil le ka'analilo' ts'u ya'ala'al u tsoolile' yaan ba'ax u yil yéetel ba'alo'ob ku yúuchul tu ka'anlil yóok'ol kaab, ichilo'obe' yéetel Venus wa noj eek' yéetel u chiinil k'iin ti' le ekinoksio'obo' (Equinoccios).

Venus and the setting of the sun during the equinoxes have been related to the three windows in the upper section. The name "Caracol" (conch) comes
from the spiral stairs that lead to the upper part of the building. It was explored between 1925 and 1931 by the Carnegie Institute which detected
a series of six superimposed constructions. It is believed that its construction dates from an intermediary period between the Terminal Classic and the Early Post Classic periods. The large trenches on the upper platform are samples of consolidated excavations used for
didactical purposes.
