MAYAN GRAND SLAM: TIKAL & YAXHÁ SUNSET COMBO

Language English, Spanish
Cost 100 USD for tour/excursion
Capacity Group of more than 10 people
Duration 9 hours

This is the ultimate adventure for the dedicated traveler! In one epic day, I will take you to explore the two most impressive archaeological jewels of Petén: the majesty of Tikal and the serene beauty of Yaxhá, finishing with an unforgettable sunset over the lagoon.

We will start very early in the morning to be among the first to enter Tikal. We will explore the imposing Great Plaza, climb the tallest temples, and dive deep into the history of the Classic Maya capital. The morning in Tikal is ideal for wildlife viewing and avoiding the most intense heat.

Around noon, we will pause for lunch (not included) and then head to Yaxhá. This less-crowded site will offer a more intimate experience. We will walk its causeways and complexes, sharing fascinating stories about its role as a key border post.

The grand finale of the day will be the ascent to Structure 216 at Yaxhá. From here, we will witness the sun painting the jungle and the Yaxhá and Sacnab lagoons with vibrant colors. After sunset, we will return to your point of origin.

A long day, but a doubly magical and unforgettable experience!

Key Places to Visit:

Tikal (Morning): Great Plaza (Temples I and II), Temple IV (for views), and Lost World.

Yaxhá (Afternoon/Sunset): Complex C, West Acropolis, and the iconic Structure 216 for the sunset.
