Archaeological Center kaminaljuyu, Archaeological museum in Zone 7, Guatemala City, Guatemala.

The archaeological center spans across 0.5 square kilometers, containing remains of pyramidal structures and ceremonial platforms from the Maya civilization.

The settlement flourished from 1500 BC to 1200 AD, developing into a major Pre-Columbian center that controlled trade routes between Maya regions.

The site reveals complex religious practices through its mounds, temples, and burial customs, with artifacts demonstrating the evolution of Maya ceramic techniques.

Visitors can access the archaeological park at 11a Calle 25-50 & 24a Av, with taxi services available from central Guatemala City for approximately 50 quetzales.

The excavations uncovered an advanced water management system from the Miraflores period that sustained the agricultural production of this ancient metropolis.
