Yaxha and Nakum Maya Adventure Tour

The adventure starts when we pick you up in Flores drive 1hr20min appox to El Sombrero Ecolodge where we will change to a 4x4 vehicle. We stop to buy entrance fees and then drive for 1hr30min approx to Nakum maya site. The drive is through forest trails and bajos which makes it exciting. We spend approximately 2hrs 30min visiting the main palaces and plazas before heading back to El Sombrero for lunch.

We leave El Sombrero towards Yaxha maya site at 2:30pm so we start the tour by walking around the abandoned plazas and palaces that are still partly hidden under vegetation. Most of the tour is under the canopy of the trees and under the watch of the Howler and Spider monkeys. We climb the Pyramid from the Mayor Astronomic Center and the North Acropolis to get the view of the endless forest over the horizon and finish off at the Temple of the Red Hands to wait for the Sun to go behind Lake Yaxha.

At 6:30pm we drive back to Flores which is the end of our trip.

Nakum is Maya City deep in the Jungles of Peten with monumental architecture, Palaces and Temples on top of other limestone platforms. Most still home to a large number of animals since they are covered under vegetation.

The first part of the trip is paved road but at Yaxha you change to a 4x4 Vehicles which are the only ones that could go through the forest trails that get very muddy during the rainy season - all great ingredients to make the journey a bit more exciting and adventureous.

On our way back we visit Yaxha maya site that's on the the lake side. We climb structures like the Pyramid of Mayor Astronomic center and the Temple of the Red Hands where we wait for the sun to set behind the lake and mountains.

At 6:30pm approximately we drive back to Flores which should be one hour and half.
