Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque

Palenque is an example of a Maya sacred site from the Classic period, which reached its peak between 500 and 700 AD and whose influence spread throughout the Usumacinta River valley. The elegance and craftsmanship of the architecture, as well as the lightness of the reliefs with Maya mythological themes, are testament to the creative genius of this civilization.

Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan

The sacred city of Teotihuacan ("Birthplace of the Gods") is located approximately 50 km northeast of Mexico City. Built between the 1st and 7th centuries AD, the city features monuments of colossal proportions, especially the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, which were built according to geometric and symbolic principles. As one of the most powerful cultural centres in Mesoamerica, Teotihuacan extended its cultural and artistic influence throughout the region and beyond.

Río Abiseo National Park

The park was established in 1983 to protect the rainforest flora and fauna that are unique to this area of the Andes. The flora and fauna in the park have a high degree of endemism. The yellow-tailed woolly monkey, previously thought to be extinct, is found only in this area. Research conducted since 1985 has led to the discovery of 36 previously unknown archaeological sites at altitudes between 2,500 and 4,000 meters, which provide a good picture of pre-Inca society.

Tiwanaku: Spiritual and Political Centre of the Tiwanaku Culture

The city of Tiwanaku was the capital of a powerful pre-Hispanic empire that ruled a large area in and around the southern Andes, reaching its peak between 500 and 900 AD. Its magnificent ruins bear witness to the cultural and political significance of this civilization, which was distinct from other pre-Hispanic empires in the Americas.

National Archeological Park of Tierradentro

The park contains several colossal statues of human figures and numerous catacombs dating from the 6th to the 10th century. These huge catacombs (some chambers are up to 12 meters wide) are decorated with motifs that recreate the interiors of houses of the time. They reveal the social complexity and cultural wealth of pre-Hispanic societies north of the Andes.

Fuerte de Samaipata

The archaeological site of Samaipata consists of two parts: the hill with many carvings, believed to be the ceremonial center of the old town (14th-16th centuries), and the area to the south of the hill, which was the administrative and residential area. The huge carved rock overlooking the town below is a unique testimony to pre-Hispanic traditions and beliefs, unparalleled anywhere in the Americas.
