Yaxha One Day Tour
Yaxha One Day Tour:
Take advantage of our private tour to discover at your own pace the Yaxha Maya site & the nature that surrounds it.
This important ceremonial site is located by the lake known by the same name. It is connected with Flores in the east by an 80 km road, of which 70 km are paved while the last 10 km are sandy roads. Yaxha 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 to west 3 km.
The site is characterized by large artificial platforms, causeways, and roads connecting different city and lake architectural complexes.
Yaxha Park belongs to the Maya Biosphere Reserve. Within the Park, there are four critical archaeological sites: Yaxhá, Nakum, Naranjo, and Topoxte.
The city of Yaxha became an important area to the ancient Maya culture. The jungles inside are exceptionally well-preserved. The Yaxhá Lagoon is among the most effective water systems inside the Maya Biosphere.
Yaxha has documented 150 birds species, forty types of mammals, fourteen amphibious, forty-five reptiles, and 22 varieties of fish.
