Guatemalan Maya Archaeological Sites

This collection highlights the diverse architectural and historical landscape of the Maya civilization within Guatemala’s Petén Basin. It includes the iconic soaring pyramids of Tikal—specifically Temples I, II, and III—alongside Uaxactun, known for its early astronomical observatory. The list features massive Preclassic centers like Nakbe and El Tintal, as well as strategically located riverside cities such as Aguateca and Seibal. These sites preserve intricate stelae, expansive plazas, and defensive structures that reveal the complex political and social evolution of the Maya from the Preclassic through the Classic periods.
