In 1974, a sweathouse was discovered in the Postclassic site of Los Cimientos-Chustum, department of El Quiché, Guatemala. It is rectangular, provided with an interior hearth, a drainage canal, and a large water reservoir. It is, thus, quite different from the El Paraiso sweathouse, the only Precolumbian structure of this type known today in the Highlands of Guatemala. The Los Cimientos arrangement is similar, although on a more modest scale, to the Lowlands sweathouses, especially those of Piedras Negras
