Parque Nacional Sierra del Lacandón

Many endangered animals such as the jaguar, white-lipped peccary, puma, and scarlet macaw seek refuge in the Sierra del Lacandón. The abundance of wildlife in the park allows researchers to use this area as the main reference for the study of diverse species.

Biological diversity is not the only attraction of Sierra del Lacandón. The area has more than 30 registered archeological sites that contain important vestiges of the Mayan culture. One of the most predominant sites is Piedras Negras, a Mayan city known for its elegant architecture and sculptures that narrate the lives and works of its rulers.
