Detail InformationEdit

Tres Islas (Spanish for “Three Islands”) is a small pre-Columbian Maya archaeological site 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Cancuen in Petén Department, northern Guatemala. The site has been dated to the Late Preclassic (c.400 BC – 250 AD) and Late Classic (c.600-900 AD) periods of Mesoamerican chronology. The main feature of the site is a group of three Maya stelae and an altar, arranged in a way that mimics an E-Group Maya astronomical complex.
Tres Islas is one of only a few Maya cities that erected dated monuments in the Early Classic period (c. AD 250 – 600).
Tres Islas is situated on the West Bank of the Pasión River in the municipality of Sayaxché in Guatemala’s northern department of Petén. It is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of the ruins of Machaquila and about the same distance north of Cancuén. It is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Seibal.
The site consists of a group of 3 stelae and an altar 200 metres (660 ft) north of three small structures, each 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) high. These two groups are located on the edge of a scarp overlooking the Pasión River.
The low platform supporting the three stelae measures 8.5 by 5 metres (28 by 16 ft) (north-south by east-west).
