Pusilha Ruins

These remote Mayan ruins are just a few miles from the Guatemalan border, and archaeologists believe they were occupied during the Classic period from 150 to 1000 AD. The ruins were originally found in the 1920s, partially excavated, and then abandoned. The site features several stelae in a main plaza, and an unusual stone bridge, but most of the mounds and artifacts are still buried under corn fields.

A strenuous hike is required to reach these ruins, and getting to Pusil Ha is part of the adventure. This trip is only recommended for more physically active guests.
