Tikal Ruins

Upon your arrival in Flores, your guide and driver will be waiting for you outside the airport with a sign displaying your name. You’ll be privately transferred to a nearby restaurant to enjoy lunch.

Afterward, continue on a scenic 1.5-hour drive to the Yaxha archaeological site. Yaxha, an ancient Mayan ceremonial center in northeastern Peten, offers a captivating blend of history, stunning landscapes, and ecological tourism. The site boasts over 500 structures, including 40 stelae, 13 altars, and 9 pyramids, making it a must-see destination in the area. Upon arrival, your guide will lead you through the main temples and layout of the site.

Conclude the day with a breathtaking sunset experience on a private boat as you glide across the tranquil lake.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Sayaxche, a drive of approximately one hour. From there, you’ll embark on a boat journey along the Pucte stream, sailing about 1.5 hours to reach the secluded Blue Crater.

Upon arrival, dive into the pristine, crystal-clear waters and enjoy snorkeling in this unique aquatic sanctuary. The vivid blue color of the water remains a mystery, though marine biologists suggest it may be due to the abundance of snails inhabiting the area.

A picnic lunch is included, and you’ll return to your hotel around 5 p.m.

After breakfast, your tour guide will meet you in your hotel lobby to escort you to Tikal National Park. As you explore the park, your guide will introduce you to the layout of the temples, the remarkable architecture, and the fascinating history of the Mayan civilization, including some theories about their mysterious disappearance. If you’re lucky, you might also encounter monkeys, parrots, macaws, and toucans along the way. After the tour, savor lunch at a jungle restaurant, surrounded by nature. (This tour is conducted on a private basis.)

Enjoy a private transfer to Flores Airport for your one-hour domestic flight back to Guatemala City.
