Tohcok (also known as Tacóh or Tacoc) is an archaeological Maya site in the Hopelchén municipality of the Mexican state of Campeche. Tohcok developed as a large ceremonial center during the late Classic and early Postclassic periods of Mesoamerica between the Puuc and Chenes region. This location in the transition zone of both regions makes Tohcok show a mix of both regional architectural styles in its buildings and structures.[1]
