Mayan Adventure: Tikal in a Day

Start your day with the comfort of picking you up directly at the door of your hotel in Flores or, if you arrive by air, at Mundo Maya International Airport. From there, start a scenic journey to one of the most impressive archaeological treasures in the world: Tikal. Along the way, you will enjoy views of Lake Petén Itzá and the jungle landscapes that surround the region. At the end of the tour, passengers with evening flights are transferred directly to their airline counter, while those staying return comfortably to their hotel. For those flying at night, we offer a complimentary transfer to the charming Isle of Flowers, where you will have free time to explore its cobbled streets, craft shops, lakefront cafes and viewpoints with spectacular views. The final transfer to the airport takes place at 6:00 p.m. This tour does not include a guide.

During the 63 km (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes) tour, we cross vibrant jungle landscapes, where the intense green of the vegetation and the song of tropical birds anticipate the magic to come. Along the way, travelers will appreciate the majestic Lake Petén Itzá from different angles, with its calm waters reflecting the sky and the jungle. We pass through one side of the lake and several of the picturesque villages that surround it, allowing an authentic look at the local life and natural environment that frames this unique region of Guatemala.
