The Izapa archaeological site is a ceremonial centre founded around 1500 BC and which, from 600 BC onwards, was for a millennium the largest and most important civil and religious centre on the Pacific plain, apparently of Mixe-Zoque origin, but located in contact with the lands occupied by Mayan groups. Its importance was derived from the trade in cacao and probably imported obsidian. Today, the remains appear as mounds of earth and platforms of boulders. Izapa had more than 160 buildings, including pyramids and platforms of up to 20 m.
