EspañolCAHAL PECH
'Cahal Pech' is a Maya site located near the Town of San Ignacio in the Cayo District of Belize. The site was a palacio home for an elite Maya family and dates back to as early as 400 AD. The site rests high near the banks of the Macal River and is a collection of 34 structures, with the tallest being about 25 meters in height. The site was abandoned in the 9th century AD for unknown reasons.
The name ''Cahal Pech'', meaning "place of ticks", was given when this site was a pasture during the first archaeological studies in the 1950s.
