The ancient Maya site Izapa is a large formative site located in the state of Chiapas in Mexico in the far south eastern corner, close to the border of Guatemala. It was once the thriving cultural and commercial center of a rich agricultural region called Soconusco which extended along the Pacific coast.
The early exports of the region were cacao, quetzal feathers, and rubber. The nearest modern city is Tapachula, 10 km to the west. Izapa lays on the only latitude in North America where a 260-day interval can be measured between vertical sun positions. This interval starts on the 13th of August.
