Mirador (Maya site)

Mirador is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located in the northwestern corner of the Central Chiapas Depression in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. It is located alongside the La Venta River near the town of Vicente Guerrero.

Mirador had its cultural peak from the Middle Formative to Early Classic periods from around 500 BCE to 400 AD, however, the site has a history of settlement dating back to 1200 BCE. Mirador existed alongside several ancient Zoquean cities throughout the Central Depression during this time, including Chiapa de Corzo, Santa Rosa, La Libertad, Ocozocoautla, and San Isidro.
