Just 15 km east of Lubaantún is Nim Li Punit, which during the Late Classic could have been part of the same political entity as Lubaantún.
It is located on the banks of the Arroyo Dorado, in the foothills of the Mayan Mountains, in a region known as Toledo Beds. Unlike Lubaantún, this site does not have monumental architecture, but it does have a set of 26 monumental steles, of which seven have inscriptions made in sandstone rock and slate.
Of its monuments, Stela 14 stands out, which at 9.4 m high is the tallest in Belize and the second tallest in the Mayan World. In addition, the ruler wears a hat-shaped headdress, which gave the site its name.
Its central area is made up of a ceremonial group and two residential groups. The ceremonial center consists of two squares: The Plaza de las Estelas was where their monuments were placed and where the largest pyramid of the site is located, 12 m high.
The Plaza de las Tumbas Reales, located to the west, contains buildings and funerary enclosures. To the west is a ball court, which leads to the Ninki Pec and Akam residential groups.
Their steles are exhibited in the site's Visitor Center, as well as a sample of ceramic and lithic artifacts recovered from tombs and other contexts.
The site of Pusilhá It is located between the Poité and Machaca rivers, in a relatively flat valley, although some of the main architectural groups were located on terraces on hillsides.
The Acropolis is located on Gateway Hill, on the southeast side of the site, which has a ball court at its base.
To access this group you had to cross the Machaca River through a stone bridge. Towards the northwest is the largest number of buildings, grouped in the Plaza Moho and the Plaza de las Estelas, as well as another ball game court.
The site of Uxbenka It is part of the same cultural sphere as Lubaantún, Nim Li Punit and Pusilhá, evidenced by their architectural similarities.
It is located near the Blanco River, on a hill where an acropolis-type complex was built, whose base rises 9 m, which served as the ceremonial and administrative center of the site.
These are the names of the first men who were created and formed: the first man was Balam-Quitzé, the second Balam-Acab, the third Mahucutah and the fourth Iqui-Balam.
