Ceibal – Aguateca – Dos Pilas Jungle Tour

3 Days – 2 Nights:

An adventure trip enjoying rivers and streams, Mayan cities, stelae with impressive art, surrounded by one of the most beautiful forests in the region. The river’s journey invites us to wake up our adventurous spirit and open our eyes to see the crocodiles and families of turtles taking the sun in an old trunk.

Variety of aquatic birds waiting secretly for the first fish that can be easy prey, indigenous communities lost in the back of the snake-like rivers, children greeting the travelers, this and many more in three days of adventure in this world of the green mystery.
