Enjoy a panoramic view over parts of Guatemala as well as Belize’s Cayo district, from the top of a towering Mayan ruin.

Constructed in the first millennium of the current era, these ruins are the remnants of a Mayan ceremonial center. Walk the ruins and imagine the people and events that once filled the space around you. 

El Castillo, the site’s centerpiece, is still the second-tallest structure in the country. Afterward, visit Cahal Pech, another nearby ruin that was once the home of a Mayan royal family.
