Watch sunset from Yaxha Temple 216 on a guided evening tour from Flores, with transport, entrance, wildlife, and fewer crowds than Tikal.

“Když jsem kupoval tuhle aktivitu , tak jsem se drobet bál, protože tu není moc recenzí. Ale vše proběhlo v pořádku. Jestli letíte do Flores kvůli Tikalu, tak rozhodne do programu doporučuji zařadit i tuhle aktivitu. Yaxha se mi neskutečně líbila, hlavně díky tomu, že nebyla přeplněna turisty , byla tak prázdná. Mohli jste si více užít zvuk zvířat , přítomný okamžik … doopravdy doporučuji.”

Hubo tiempo para hacer preguntas, sacar fotos o simplemente para contemplar este gigante patrimonio cultural y natural. Nos sentimos privilegiadas de haber sido parte de esta experiencia. Fue algo único tanto para mí que para mí hija. Se cumplió un sueño q tenía pendiente hace mucho. Gracias de corazón. 100% recomendado”
