Wajxaklajun (pronounced [waχʃaklaˈχun]) (also known as Ystapalapán, Yolk'u, El Calvario, Carvao and Curvao) is a ruin of the ancient Maya civilization situated adjacent to the modern town of San Mateo Ixtatán, in the Huehuetenango Department of Guatemala. Wajxaklajun is considered to be the most important archaeological site in the San Mateo Ixtatán area. The site has been dated to the Classic period (c. 250–900 AD). The Chuj Maya consider the city to have been built by their ancestors. The site has similarities with other nearby highland Maya ruins; it is unusual for the presence of a number of stelae, a feature more associated with lowland sites during the Classic period, probably indicating some level of exchange with lowland cities.

Wajxaklajun est considéré comme le site archéologique le plus important de la région de San Mateo Ixtatán. Le site a été daté de la période classique (vers 250-900 AD). Les Mayas Chuj considèrent que la ville a été construite par leurs ancêtres. Le site présente des similitudes avec d'autres ruines mayas des hautes terres voisines ; il est inhabituel par la présence d'un certain nombre de stèles, une caractéristique plus associée aux sites des basses terres pendant la période classique, indiquant probablement un certain nivea (fr)
