On this boat trip and tour of El Ceibal from Flores, we'll sail the La Pasión River and explore one of the most important Mayan archaeological complexes in Guatemala.

Day Trip to El Ceibal

To begin the tour, we'll pick you up in Flores at your hotel or the airport at 8 am and head to the town of Sayaxché, where a boat will be ready to take us to our destination.

We'll board the boat and set off along the La Pasión River until we reach the Mayan archaeological complex of El Ceibal, originating around 400 B.C.. Upon arrival, we will disembark and walk along a path parallel to the river to the archaeological site.

We will tour the grounds, including sectors A, C, and D, the circular pyramid, the zoomorphic altar, and the ball game field. Additionally, we will explore various tracks or Causeways that connect the architectural complexes and learn about the building techniques used by the Mayans. We will also see El Ceibal's collection of stelae, stone shafts with glyphs.

After finishing our tour, we will return by boat to Sayaxché and then take a bus back to Flores, with an estimated arrival at your hotel around 3:30 pm.
