Guatemala Jungle Tours

 
Dear Friend
It's a great pleasure to present you Following The Footprints Of The Maya program, which consist on a series of ecotours developed to support the communitary projects that have commited to the invaluable process of conservation of resources.
 
The communities involved on this challenging process of living in harmony with nature, are offering today hikes through the Subtropical Humid Forest, camping and visiting archaeological sites, surrounded by unique nature with a great variety of wildlife.
 
Being very clear about the fact the ecotourism is not the entire solution to the problems these communities are facing, but being a valid alternative, we invite you to analyze our travel proposals and at the same time we ask you to commit to the process of saving our planet.
 
One of the communities that has effectively assimilated such process is the El Cruce Dos Aguadas, where you have the chance to Follow The Footprint Of The Maya on a jungle route starting on this village and finishing at the National Park Tikal, capital of the Maya World.
 
The services offered are being operated by the villages' tourism association, from which they generate direct income, through the rent of horses, tour guides, porters (people in charge of feeding and taking care of the horses that carry gear and food throughout the trips), cooks and gear in general.
 
The tourism association uses the rotation system to equally benefit all of its members. The 4 day/3 night trip is the most ambitious program involving children and women as well, on the preparation of food (the first night at the village you can get involved on the elaboration of tortillas!) the same way the ancient Maya used to do.
 
You cannot miss this opportunity to help and enjoy a thrilling trip through the exuberant Maya jungle!
