The Mirador Basin is an area of pristine tropical forest geographically defined on the west, south and east by a low range of karstic mountains and bordered on the north by the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. The Mirador Basin covers 2,169 square kilometers, about four times the area of Tikal National Park and a little less than the area of Rhode Island. The Mirador Basin is located in the extreme north central portion of the Peten of Guatemala, and extreme southern Campeche, Mexico. The Basin is noted for the complete lack of human population in the area, plus the fact that it represents the last large tract of intact tropical forest left in Central America.
