When most people think about Mayan ruins, most think about Tikal, Palenque and Copan, and people that have studied the Maya civilization a bit more, know about Bonampak, Uaxactun, Xunantunich, etc., but not many think or even know about El Mirador.
In a nutshell, El Mirador is the SINGLE MOST AMAZING MAYAN CITY discovered yet, BY FAR!
Not only it´s massive structures are proof of the incredibly advanced knowledge the Maya had, but also archaeologists get more and more amazed as they keep digging, to a point where the entire system for dating the Maya history is most likely to be changed, since now they know that the period called “Classic”, where the Maya were supposed to achieve their zenith in cultural and scientific development, actually started many years before.
The Danta complex is the largest human made structure of the ancient world, almost 3 times bigger than the Great Pyramid in Egypt, and the causeways connecting this city to Nakbe and other important cities forming almost perfect straight lines in the jungle, proves to be the most ancient road system in the world.
Open now for adventurous tourists and donors, you can either fly in a helicopter in & out in a day, or in a 5 day by foot trip, camping in the jungle… there is no other way to get there!
