Yaxha is an impressive city located near Tikal. This city is less known but it certainly has a lot to offer. During your visit, you will walk in the middle of the jungle and will see a good number of Mayan constructions, squares, and stelae. The Yaxha and Sacnab lagoons surround this place, and from the top of one of the Yaxha pyramids, you can see a sister city called Topoxte.
Undoubtedly, one of the greatest attractions of this site is to see the sunset over the "Temple of the Red Hands". This temple is so-called because at its summit, there is a red two-handed painting dating from the classical period, when this city was thriving. If you are looking for a unique tour and want to return with memories of moments that youwill cherish forever, then this is your chance. Enjoy the archeology, history, culture, and nature that this place offers. We will wait for you!

Yaxha
As soon as we arrive in the city of Yaxhá, it won't take long for you to start seeing the first structures, palaces, squares, and stelae. This city was contemporary with the nearby city of Tikal. Our expert tour guide will tell you all the history of their astrological knowledge, their alliances with other cities, their advances in agriculture, and more. This city is not very known and you will see fewer tourists compared to Tikal. We will walk in the middle of the jungle and when the sun is about to fall, we will climb to the top of the structure called "Temple 216" or also known as "Temple of the Red Hands", our main attraction of the tour. Take the time to appreciate the beauty of that moment, relax, and take photos.

My Memorable Yaxha Day Trip - Guatemala

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00My wife and I, together with a Costa Rican couple, were picked up at our hotel in Flores, Guatemala for our 2nd day tour to this Guatemalan Mayan Archeological Park, named Yaxha. Our van driver was Ceasar and our tour guide was Noel. Both were very punctual. Ceasar drives good even on rough bumpy roads to the park and is professional. Noel is equally professional, informative, patient, well organized when it comes to the tour and speaks good clear English. He allowed us to climbed some high Mayan pyramids, and accompanied us throughout the tour especially along the surrounding jungle. There were very few tourists around so we got good photos, views of the pyramids. After the tour, an included lunch was served to us. Drinks not included. After lunch, we were dropped off to the airport for our trip back to Guatemala City. The tour lasted from 8:00pm to 3:30 pm. It was an enriching adventure, fun and full of exercise especially for the legs. The park is smaller compared to the famous Tikal Park which we visited a day earlier. We all enjoyed the tour and came home full of memories and insight about this Mayan park. Lastly, I like to thank Gustavo Nolasco of Maya Sky Travel Agency for booking this reservation which includes the flights, hotel, day trips and the guidelines.
