Cahal Pech-Cahal Pech site is located
on a steep hill on the outskirts of San Ignacio. This ceremonial center is one of the earliest sites occupied by the Mayas in the country around (1200 BC).
Investigations at Cahal Pech have provided a wealth of information that help to understand the importance of ceremonies in the pre-classic period, and the flourishing
of the Maya culture. This site is composed of temples, palaces, and a ball-court. Some major buildings were roofed with the Maya vault.
The occupation probably ran through the entire Classic Period.
A small museum is located next to the site. Over the years, archaeologists have found many wonderful artifacts some of
which are kept in the museum.
