Members of the CTGA Archaeology travel Club visited the ancient Maya cities of Naranjo and Nakum, both located in the Peten basin region in Guatemala. Naranjo is known for its unique polychrome high quality ceramics, most notably the Jauncy Vase found in Buena Vista Del Cayo, Belize. It is also known as the home of a woman ruler, Wak Chanil Ajaw 'Lady Six Sky.' Nakum has large well preserved architecture with original plaster and paint. Its central acropolis is truly impressive. It sits on a very large raised platform with 10 plazas and is comprised of residential and temple buildings.
We, the tour guides, thank the president Jorge De Leon for arranging this trip and doing all the driving. We also thank Mr. Victor Lopez, our local guide who had worked many years on archaeological excavations at these very sites. Thank you for taking time out and sharing a wealth of knowledge with us.
