Review:

Often called the last capital city of the Mayas, Iximche was founded in 1463 and has remained remarkably well-preserved. The buildings are not as large as those in some other Mayan cities, but they boast the characteristic Mayan look. It takes approximately one hour to drive from Guatemala City to Iximche, making this a great day trip for visitors based in the city. The ruins are open every day of the week between 8 am and 4 pm, and there are plenty of restaurants and handicraft vendors here for visitors who get hungry or would like to purchase souvenirs.
