Mixco Viejo

Perched on an elevated site surrounded by ravines, Mixco Viejo was a Maya city designed for defense. The Chajoma people, its inhabitants, fought against neighboring Maya groups and eventually faced Spanish forces. Today, visitors can explore the ruins and gain insight into the city’s strategic layout. The site also offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys, providing a vivid backdrop to the historical significance of the area.
