Tikal: Visit the ruins of Yaxha

Visit Us

Visit the ruins of Yaxha

The lesser-known but still accessible ruins of Yaxhá lie halfway between Tikal and the Belize border, making them a rewarding stop on the journey between Guatemala and its easterly neighbour.

Climb the temples that crowd its compact main square for excellent views out over the nearby Lake  Yaxhá and the surrounding jungle.

What our clients say

97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.

Visit the ruins of Yaxha | Rating: Excellent

This is well worth a visit.  It's much less popular than Tikal and it is on a smaller scale but, in many ways, it is just as impressive.  My guide had estimated spending 2 hours in Yaxha but we spent 3.5 hours there!  WE also visited the nearby site of Topoxte which is quite untouched and unexcavated.
