Utatlán was also known as K'Umarcaaj. The archaeological site is located in the department of El Quiché about two miles from Santa Cruz del Quiché almost 100 miles from Guatemala City. K'umarcaaj is mentioned in the Popol Vuh. References call the city impressive and powerful. The ruins are in pretty bad shape and very few structures remain. The city was destroyed by Pedro de Alvarado during its conquest and burning in 1524 A.D. K'umarcaaj was the ancient capital of the Maya Quiché region
