Ti'tsimín

Titsimin was a Maya settlement in northeastern Yucatán, within the territory of the Cupul. Its name is associated with the tapir, an animal of the forests and waterholes of the peninsula. Spanish conquest advanced into the region in the 1540s, and the town was recorded as an encomienda by 1549. Nearby Maya communities had joined the great eastern uprising of 1546 against the new colonial order.
