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 top there is a red two-handed painting dating from the classical period when this city was booming. If you are looking for a unique tour and want to return with memories of moments that you will remember forever, then this is your chance. Enjoy the archeology, history, culture, and nature that this place offers. We will also give you a bottle of water and snacks so that this is an experience that you enjoy from start to finish. We will wait for you!
