El Tintal, Maya archaeological site in northern Petén, Guatemala
El Tintal extends across 11.6 square kilometers with over 2,000 identified structures, featuring two high triadic pyramids and wide connecting causeways.
Archaeological investigations reveal settlements dating from 300 BC to 150 AD, making it the second largest site within the Mirador Basin complex.
The central Mano de León complex contains ceremonial structures encircled by a deep defensive ditch marking social and political boundaries during Maya rule.
Located 25 kilometers northeast of Carmelita, the site connects to El Mirador and Nakbé through an ancient pathway system within dense rainforest.
The site includes an engineered water management system with canals and reservoirs that integrated with natural wetlands for sustainable water distribution.
