Iximche, Pre-Columbian archaeological museum in Tecpán Guatemala, Guatemala
The archaeological complex spans six plazas containing over 170 structures built with stone masonry, featuring pyramids, residential areas, and two ball courts.
The Kaqchikel Maya established Iximche as their capital in 1470, constructing it on a ridge protected by deep ravines until its abandonment in 1524.
The site maintains its religious importance as Maya people continue to perform traditional ceremonies and rituals at various locations within the complex.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site daily between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with entrance fees of 50 Quetzales, located 91 kilometers from Guatemala City.
The archaeological site contains preserved evidence of painted murals on building walls and multiple construction phases indicating continuous architectural development.
