El Mirador Helicopter Tour

El Mirador Tour by Helicopter

This helicopter trip is the best seller within our helicopter adventures in Guatemala. The heli-trip offers breathtaking air views of the lake Peten Itza, the island of Flores, the El Mirador archaeological site, and the exotic Maya rainforest.

Also, travelers will experience a landing inside the lost city of El Mirador, plus a guided trip to the renowned Maya site. On arrival, you will have time to discover the awe-inspiring beauty of the site.

El Mirador National Park is a natural wonder recently proposed as a UNESCO world heritage destination by the Guatemalan government based on the archaeological richness, exuberant jungle, and the great variety of wildlife that inhabits the biggest city in the Mayan world.

Our experienced tour guide will take you on a journey through time and Maya history. During the tour, you will visit the El Tigre complex, Los Monos Group, and Jaguar’s Claw Temple, which shows large painted masks over three meters in height by two in width.

Then we will visit the incredible central Acropolis wherein the structure 313 will be able to observe five phases of construction. In its rear, we will find shreds of evidence of the canals that the Mayas of those times were used to transport water.

In this building, we can find a carved panel with the shape of twin brothers, Hunahpu and Ixbalanque, mythological creatures of the sacred book of the Mayas, the Popol Vuh. And to finalize, we will visit the fantastic pyramid of “La Danta.”
