Tikal Tour

Tikal Tour

Explore the vast ruins of Tikal during this one-day tour. You’ll visit Tikal’s temples and pyramids, learn about Mayan culture, and walk along short trails through the jungle. The Tikal National Park was created in 1956 and covers 222 square miles (575 sq. km) of primary tropical forest. A vast number of Mayan ruins fall under the protection of the park. Tikal is undoubtedly one of Guatemala’s most impressive sites. While here, you’ll explore the park on foot. Photograph yourself beside Temple I, the most iconic of Tikal’s structures, or climb to the top of Temple II for views of the surrounding area. The trails that lead between ruins offer travelers good looks into the jungle—you might spot any number of birds as you make your way along these paths.

Yaxha Tour - Coban Travels

Yaxhá is Guatemala's third-largest Mayan site, but its remote location means it's often free from large crowds. Experience a one-day tour of Yaxhá, which includes both the ancient ruins and the surrounding jungle. As the third-largest Mayan site in Guatemala, Yaxhá follows Tikal and El Mirador. Its secluded position results in fewer visitors compared to Tikal, offering an ideal opportunity for those who prefer a quieter exploration. Nestled between two scenic lakes, Yaxhá is situated around 18.5 miles (30 km) southeast of Tikal and 47 miles (75 km) from Flores.
