Beach Shoreline at Lake Peten Itza, San Jose, Peten, Guatemala
Sunset between rainy bouts over Lake Peten. I'd camp here again ;) #adventure #guatemala #overlanding #panamerican #sunset
Waking up early has its perks! This is sunrise over the Peten Itza Lake in Flores, Guatemala. <3
A 5 or 6 days tour takes you into the jungle of Guatemala. The tours start from Flores where you take a car to Carmelita. From there it's a 5 or 6 days tour on foot. Every night you sleep at a different camp and you have the opportunity to explore different ancient ruins along the way. There are a ton of different tour operators in Flores. Some more honest than others. So make sure to talk to a couple before you decide on one. It's worth choosing one where there is a guide and someone separate to cook and to look after the mules. We went with Dinastia Kan "El Mirador" and were very very happy with our choice.
