Cahal Pech Maya Ruins

San Ignacio is a vibrant town in western Belize, gateway to the ancient Cahal Pech Maya ruins. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the town, Cahal Pech was once a royal acropolis-palace of an elite Maya family during the Classic Period. The archaeological site features plazas, temples, and residential structures that offer a glimpse into the sophisticated Maya civilization that flourished in this region over a thousand years ago.
