    Iximché is more than an archaeological site, it is the very place where the city of Guatemala was founded in 1524, making it a cornerstone of the country's colonial and Maya history. Visitors today can explore the remaining structures, plazas, and ceremonial platforms that survived the destruction brought by the Spanish conquest, gaining insight into both Kaqchikel Maya civilization and the dramatic events that reshaped the region. Guided by a knowledgeable local expert, walk through the site's temple structures and open plazas while learning about Kaqchikel history, Maya architecture, and the pivotal role Iximché played in Guatemala's founding.
