Located the east of Yucatan, Valladolid was the scene of rebellions and battles between conquerors and conquered. The submission of the rebel Cupuls in the east was finally attained by nephew of the conqueror. Also named Francisco de Montejo, he set up camp around a lagoon witch the local inhabitants called Chouac-Ha, this sire would be the operational base from witch the Spanish subdued the Cupuls and overpowered their capital, Zacihual. The name means "white Gull" and symbolizes the warlike qualities of the Zaci community.
Lying 50 km from the coast, this was an important political and religious center and residence of the hierarchy of the cupul family.
