The Pasión River (Río La Pasión) and its tributaries span nearly 2,000 square miles in Guatemala, creating a rich ecological zone and serving as a vital transportation artery. This river follows the ancient trade route used by the Maya, connecting numerous archaeological sites along its shores. Today, visitors can explore these historical sites, gaining insight into the region’s past while navigating the same waterways that once facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas among the ancient Maya communities.
