Most of the platforms, temples and buildings in Kaminaljuyu were constructed from bricks and clay due to lack of stones, what resulted in very poor state of preservation - most of the structures appear as grasy mounds nowdays. The first archaeological excavations were started here in 1925, the later ones in 1950s and 1970s.
The site is easily availible by buses from centre of Guatemala City - it lies in the Western suburbs called Colonia Kaminal Juyu.
