Parque Nacional Yaxha
National park
👍👍 Welcome to the jungle! You can describe Yaxha as the smaller brother of Tikal, a correct description that does not detract at all from the splendor of this Maya city. Yaxha has not yet been discovered by the general public, so you can wander around here almost on your own and in complete silence.......

😐 Yes this is the clearest water you will ever swim in. Really quite magical. The reason for 3 stars here (don’t even truly know if it’s relevant) …….

👍👍 The best hidden gem in all of Flores. The food was tantalizing and made me regret only being in Flores one night. However, the best part of the night was how the Chef/Owner Bernie, made our food with such gusto and passion that you could taste his love of cooking and hosting. He knew just from a sim...

👍👍 The best to look out in all of Flores! This amazing viewpoint is located in a remote and serene part of San Miguel, and it only takes a short 15 minute walk from the lake shore to get here.

👍👍 The place is better accessr with a tall car, not necessary 4x4 but tall. The facilities have basic services and are in excellent condition. Now, the paths within the park are very well marked. To go up to the viewpoints, you must climb several stairs, so I recommend not doing it with any knee, heel...
