Overview

Prepare to enter a place where the jungle hides centuries of history. From Flores or Mundo Maya Airport, you will begin the tour to Tikal, an ancient Mayan city surrounded by one of the most impressive natural landscapes.

As you walk through the trails, the jungle will be present at all times: you will hear its sounds and have the chance to find monkeys, birds, and other species that live freely in the park, always depending on nature.

After exploring Tikal, you will enjoy lunch before returning to Flores. If your flight is on the same day, you will have approximately one hour to tour Flores Island, take photographs, or simply relax before the transfer to Mundo Maya International Airport at 6:00 p.m.

A day designed to discover Tikal from different perspectives: its ancient cities, the jungle that surrounds them, and the wildlife that still forms part of this extraordinary place.

Activity itinerary

Flores (Pass by)

The tour starts at 7:30 a.m. at the letters "YO AMO PETÉN," located on Flores Island. From there we will begin the journey to the heart of the jungle to discover Tikal, one of the great cities of the ancient Mayan civilisation. To facilitate your identification, the person in charge of picking you up will arrive with the name of the reservation holder. For safety, if someone approaches offering a "Tikal Tour" but doesn't know your name, do not follow them or board any vehicle. Remain at the meeting point until correctly identified by the assigned person.
