The third largest Maya City after El Mirador and Tikal, Yaxhá is located on the shore of a lake with the same name.

It holds about 500 excavated structures, connected by causeways and trails under a green tropical forest. In 2006, Survivor Guatemala, one of the well-known survival contests, was held at this archaeological site.

Yaxhá: This important ceremonial site is located by the lake known by the same name and is connected with Flores in the east by a 80 km road of which 70 km are paved while the last 10 km are sandy roads. Yaxhá means "green water". It is a Maya city of monumental magnitude with over 500 structures.

Situated on a hill, north of the lake, it occupies from east till west 3 km. The site is characterized by large artificial platforms, causeways and roads connecting different architectural complexes of the city and the lake.

The archaeological site of Aguateca is located about 15 Kms (9 miles) from Sayaxché, very close to the Petexbatun creek. At this site, there are no impressive temples or palaces, but you will see magnificent stelae and a geological fault that was used as a natural defense for the city.

One of main interests of the journey to the site is the vast diversity of birds typical from the tropical rainforest, found along the river.

Aguateca: The Aguateca ruines can be found at 15 km from the Sayaxhé village, just passing the lake Petexbatún, the Tamarindo and Aguateca kreeks.

In Aguateca it are not the temples and palaces that impress by their magnitude, but the magnificent stelae and a beautiful tropical forest as well as a geological gash that serves as a natural defense of the site

UAXACTUN:

Only 24 km (15 miles) North of Tikal, the Maya city of Uaxactun was one of the most important astronomical centers for the Mayan civilization.

This city is a perfect place for the observation of solstices and equinoxes.The archaeological site is currently located on both sides of the old airstrip within the local community living there.

Note: Due to the vicinity between Tikal and Uaxactún it is possible to visit both sites in the same day.
