Guatemala is an impressive destination. El Peten is a great visited department by many tourists because of all its attractions.

Visit a set of beautiful and mystical caves called Cuebas de La Cobanerita and then relax in the Beach of El Chechenal.

The caves have been a sacred element for all the Mayan civilizations since thousands of years ago. Mayans believe that the caves are sacred as they function as a connection from the world of the living to the underworld where some Gods live. Even nowadays, it is common to find people celebrating Mayan ceremonies to the Gods and asking for favors, blessings, or just praying. If you get the chance to see one, you will witness an event with such deep and important meaning.

Then, El Chechenal Beach will surprise you with its immense beauty, nature, and relaxation feeling.
