Originally, Quiriguá was under the rule of the dynasty of the city of Copán (now Honduras), but in 738 A.D., the Quiriguá dynasty managed to become independent and even subjugate the Copán dynasty, and that is when the city reached its peak. The park is located on the west bank of the Motagua River or Rio Grande, which was an important route of communication route for the Maya. The archaeological site of Quiriguá is named after the nearby village of the same name.
This 34-hectare Archaeological Park covers an important remnant of tropical rainforest, which makes it a last refuge for wild species native to the area.
