If you’re planning to visit Guatemala, checking out the Mayan ruins in the region is surely included in your Guatemala itinerary!! The remains of the once-dominant Mayan cities offer a glimpse into one of the greatest early civilizations, whose technological advancements are still quite impressive to this day. While Tikal is a must-visit, and on everyone’s list of best things to do in Guatemala there are lots of other Mayan sites in Guatemala worth visiting. Most of these Mayan sites are not as well-known and some of them require a bit of an adventure to reach. In some cases you will have these sites all to yourself.
Many of these lesser known ruins are quite close to other popular Guatemalan destinations. Yaxha is very close to Tikal as are other sites like Nakum. Quiriguá is on the way to Rio Dulce and Iximche is relatively close to Antigua (on the way to lake Atitlán) while Kaminaljuyu is in Guatemala City. This makes visiting some of these Guatemalan Mayan sites easy and convenient. Other sites on the list are very remote and can only be reached by foot or helicopter like El Mirador.
The Maya Civilization in Guatemala
The Mayan civilization was an advanced indigenous culture in Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Guatemala between 2000 BC and 1500 AD. They had a sophisticated society with knowledge of math, astronomy, and writing recorded in hieroglyphs on stone structures, ceramics, and codices.
In Guatemala, the Mayan civilization reached its peak during the Classic period (250-900 AD) with cities like Tikal, Yaxha, El Mirador, and Quiriguá being centers of political, economic, and cultural power. These cities had impressive architecture, water systems, and religious practices.
The Mayan civilization declined by the 10th century but their descendants still thrive and maintain their traditions and language in modern-day Guatemala. Today, over 40% of the country’s population are Mayan and their legacy can be seen in the impressive ruins throughout the country.
Discoveries Shed New Light on the Grandeur of the Mayan Civilization in Guatemala
Recently, National Geographic made a groundbreaking discovery in the Guatemalan jungle, uncovering countless hidden Mayan cities using a new technology called Lidar. Providing new insights into the size and complexity of the Mayan empire. The recent use of Lidar technology has uncovered structures that where hidden under the thick jungle and provided new insights into the size and complexity of the Mayan empire, as well as their agricultural practices and interaction with the environment. The discovery is considered one of the most important archaeological finds of the 21st century, adding to our understanding of the Mayans and their place in world history.
Close to 1,000 previously unknown Mayan settlements have been discovered in northern Guatemala using Lidar laser scanning. The settlements cover an area of 650 square miles and were occupied from 1,000 BCE to 250 BCE. The settlements were densely populated and included homes, sports courts, religious and civic centers, and extensive networks of causeways and canals. The connections between the settlements suggest they were part of a kingdom-like state with shared ideologies and politics. The construction of the massive structures, including palaces, dams, and pyramids, suggest the ability to organize thousands of workers and specialists.. The discovery offers a glimpse into the complex societies with strong levels of socio-economic organization and political power during the Middle and Late Preclassic periods of the Mayan civilization.
Best Mayan Sites to Visit In Guatemala
Guatemala is home to some of the most impressive and well-preserved Mayan ruins in the world.
