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.
