Pirámide El Tigre, Ancient Maya pyramid in Petén Department, Guatemala.

El Tigre pyramid rises 55 meters above the rainforest floor, forming a central structure within the El Mirador archaeological complex in northern Guatemala.

The pyramid was constructed during the Preclassic Maya period between 300 BCE and 100 CE, serving as a ceremonial center for religious practices.

Archaeological excavations at El Tigre pyramid revealed pottery fragments and stone tools that demonstrate the advanced craftsmanship of Maya civilization.

Access to El Tigre pyramid requires a four-day trek through dense jungle vegetation, with local guides leading expeditions from nearby settlements.

The pyramid forms a strategic architectural alignment with La Danta pyramid, creating a purposeful spatial relationship within the El Mirador complex.
