The Chincultik Archaeological Zone is characterized by being a settlement whose architecture was adapted in a very special way to the topographical characteristics of the terrain. The site is divided into four architectural groups: group A is the highest and from it the entire site is dominated, which is why it is also called El Mirador; the Acropolis dominates this group. Recently this archaeological site has been analyzed from the perspective of the scenic spaces that are formalized in the large closed plazas of some classic sites.
