About
Huehuetenango:
Huehuetenango is
located along the ridges of the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, the
highest mountain chain of Central America, with altitudes that 4,000
meters. Huehuetenango has a varying climate that ranges from deep cold
to hot and humid. Several rivers originate in the area here, like the
rivers Selegua, Cuilco, Chixoy and Salinas. During the
Classic period (250 - 900 AD), Huehuetenango was part of the Mam
Kingdom. Zaculeu, the ancient capital of the Mam Maya group, lies on
the banks of a stream in the Cuchumatan Mountains. The buildings seen
today, date back to the Maya Post-classic Period, although the
original settlement goes back to the 5th Century A.D.
