Tipu is a Mayan archaeological site[2] in the Maya Mountains near the Belize–Guatemala border. This site is situated near the Macal River. Further downstream is located the Maya site of Chaa Creek.[3] Slightly further downstream is the site of Cahal Pech.[4] In Spanish colonial times, Tipu is thought to have played a major role in delaying the conquest of Peten.[1]
