The archaeological site of Comalcalco is located in the central area of Chontalpa, on the east bank of the Seco River, among the vestiges of what was once an immense tropical jungle. The most notable characteristic of Comalcalco is the use of bricks in its construction systems, this due to the lack of presence of stone materials in the region, in addition to being the furthest Mayan site to the west.
