Tikal & Yaxha 2 Day Tour

Day 1

On the first day of your tour, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Guatemala City at 4:30 am, starting our Mayan adventure bright and early. We'll head to La Aurora International Airport to catch our flight to Flores.

After just one hour, we'll land at Mundo Maya Airport and set off to Yaxha. Did you know that these archaeological ruins served as a backdrop for a reality survival show?

Yaxha is sure to captivate you with its more than 500 different structures including 9 temple pyramids, 13 altars and 2 Mesoamerican ballcourts, and the roads that connected the ancient Mayan city. The crumbling stone ruins are surrounded by abundant jungle and spectacular lagoons, which provide a hint to the city's Mayan name!

Having explored this monumental complex to our heart's content, we'll make a stop to eat (food not included), before heading to Flores to relax at the hotel for the next day's adventure.

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel to kick our day off to an energized start, we'll embark on our hour and 15-minute journey to Tikal National Park.

Arriving at the park, we'll begin our tour by walking through the jungle to the Mayan ruins of Tikal. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this archaeological site has over 2000 years of legendary history. You'll discover its secrets thanks to your English-speaking guide as you explore, climbing up the steps to the Temple of the Great Jaguar, which towers above the treetops at over 150 feet (47 metres) tall, and the Temple of the Mask, at 125 feet (38 metres) tall.

We'll spend three hours walking around the park, learning all about Mayan civilisation as we admire the ancient city, one of the largest in the region. What happened in the 10th century that led to the cities being abandoned? Your guide will reveal all on the tour!

At the end of our guided tour of the archaeological ruins, we'll take a well-earned break to eat. We'll then return to Flores airport to catch our flight back to Guatemala City, where you'll then be dropped off at your hotel.
