The building stands on a base formed by three elements in the south, with two rooms in the building of the parties, and the roofs are on an access platform. Through two staircases on the sides of the central facade, you can access the building.

Structure V is located in the central group, it is a room of a building in eastern constrained by several elements that support it. Its north face has a mask similar to the structure II, but is smaller, and is bounded on its sides if the masks of Chac (the rain god in the Mayan culture), arranged in cascades.
