Lake Petexbatún is a hidden gem in Guatemala, perfect for travelers seeking an authentic jungle experience. This less-traveled area is home to the Petexbatún Wildlife Refuge, which protects diverse wildlife such as howler monkeys, herons, and crocodiles. The nearby Aguateca Cultural Monument features the ruins of small Mayan cities, providing a glimpse into ancient civilization along with stunning views of the lake.

Nestled on a small island in Lake Petexbatún, a charming rainforest lodge offers a true retreat. This remote hotel allows guests to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and aromas of the Guatemalan wilderness while being conveniently located near several Mayan ruins.

Accommodations consist of five thatched-roof bungalows, strategically spaced to ensure privacy. Crafted from sustainably harvested tropical hardwoods, these charming bungalows feature wooden decks overlooking the lake—ideal for spotting toucans and howler monkeys. Each bungalow is equipped with comfortable beds and a private hot water bathroom, adorned with colorful Guatemalan blankets and large windows that invite the rainforest views inside.

The open-air dining area serves delicious traditional cuisine, with dishes like grilled fish, cucumber soup, and fresh salads. Guests can enjoy a variety of drinks from the bar while keeping an eye out for monkeys swinging through the trees above.

For relaxation, a hammock area provides a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the lakeside ambiance. Those looking to engage with the water can visit the floating dock for sunbathing, swimming, or fishing. Canoes are also available for rent, allowing guests to paddle out and explore the lake while enjoying birdwatching opportunities.

This lodge is accessible via a scenic 1.5-hour boat ride from Sayaxché, making it a unique escape into nature.
