DAY 3 EL MIRADOR
Explore the giant Mayan pre-classic city of El Mirador. Over 2000 years old, many archeologists speculate that El Mirador was the first major organized settlement of the ancient Maya and of the New World. The ruins are of such staggering size and proportion that they dominate more popular sites like the ruins of Tikal. Their enormity suggests that a city-state government ruled the area, thus negating earlier held theories that only warring chieftains dominated the pre-classic period. Among these buildings sit the temples of La Danta, the largest ever build by the Maya. And El Tigre with the marvelous stucco tiger face. Camp tonight in El Mirador
