DESCRIPTION
Embark on a unique experience that combines the mystique of Uaxactún, the birthplace of Mayan astronomy, with the majesty of the sunset at Tikal, one of the continent's most impressive archaeological treasures.
The adventure begins with your private transfer from your hotel in Flores, El Remate, or Mundo Maya Airport. Our expert guide will take you through the Petén jungle to Uaxactún, an intimate archaeological site steeped in history, famous for its astronomical observatories, ceremonial plazas, and stelae that still hold secrets of the Mayan world. Here, you'll discover how this ancient city marked time and the seasons through its solar alignments, leaving its mark on the history of civilization.
After a typical lunch in the area, we'll head to Tikal National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along jungle-lined trails, you'll explore the Great Plaza, the Central Acropolis, the Temple of the Great Jaguar, and other imposing structures that will transport you to the splendor of the ancient Mayan city.
The highlight comes in the late afternoon, when you ascend to the top of a temple to contemplate Guatemala's most magical sunset. The sun setting behind the endless jungle, the sound of toucans and howler monkeys, and the mystery of Tikal at dusk will create a picture that will remain etched in your memory.
As night falls, we'll begin our return journey, and you'll conclude this unforgettable day with your private transfer back to your hotel. You'll take with you not only spectacular photos, but also the energy and magic of Mayan culture.
