Quechula, Ancient Maya archaeological site in Chiapas, Mexico
The archaeological complex includes multiple stone structures and residential areas positioned along the banks of the Grijalva River in southern Mexico.
The settlement reached its peak during the Classic Maya period between 250 and 900 AD, serving as a regional center for trade and agriculture.
The buildings and artifacts found at the site demonstrate the advanced architectural and agricultural methods developed by the Maya civilization.
The excavation area remains in its natural condition, allowing researchers to study the original layout and construction techniques of Maya settlements.
The location near the Grijalva River provided inhabitants with direct access to water resources and enabled the development of specialized farming systems.
