El Mirador is located in a remote region of Guatemala’s Petén jungle. Long ignored by archaeologists who believed it to be of late date, subsequent research proved that El Mirador dominated much of the Maya lowlands during the Late Preclassic from 150 B.C. to A.D. 150. The site features one of the largest man-made structures in the world. El Tigre is a 57,000 square foot pyramid complex, roughly equivalent to three football fields. The summit features a triad of temples. Click on Image for more detail.
