Overview

El Mirador is an archaeological site of the Late Preclassic period. During your visit, you will be able to observe several monumental structures much larger than the Jaguar pyramid in Tikal. La Danta is one of those constructions, and it is the largest pyramid in the world by volume and the largest built by the Mayan civilisation.

After many investigations and excavations, it was determined that this city was occupied from 1,000 BC. until 150 AD and that its peak was from 500 to 300 BC and abandoned in 150 AD.

A very curious fact is that the American actor Morgan Freeman visited El Mirador. He assures that if people want a truly historical experience, they should visit El Mirador.

Note: Weather factors may cause a delay in departure time. We will give you the option to reschedule the tour if bad weather or another unforeseen circumstance stops us from leaving.
