Seacal

Seacal lies in the wooded uplands of Alta Verapaz, in the country around San Pedro Carchá. The deeply cut valleys and rivers of this region connect the Guatemalan highlands with the lowlands to the north. Archaeological finds at Seacal include a burial dated to the end of the Maya Classic period, evidence of an older community in the area. The surrounding landscape forms part of the long-inhabited country of the Q’eqchi’ Maya.
