Tecpán Guatemala:

• First Capital: Tecpán is known as the ‘first capital of Guatemala.’ It was the initial permanent Spanish colonial military center established in 1525. The Spanish chose this location due to the Kaqchikel Maya’s resilience during the Spanish conquest of Guatemala.
• Iximché Archaeological Site: Just a few kilometers away lies the ruins of Iximché, the former Kaqchikel Maya capital city. Explore its high hill and connect with centuries of history.

Care Instructions:
