Tour Itinerary
Day 1 — Antigua to Flores · Tikal Sunset Tour
3:00 AM — Hotel pickup in Antigua Guatemala
Your private transfer picks you up directly from your hotel in Antigua and takes you to La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City. Allow approximately 1.5 hours for the drive depending on traffic.
6:00 AM — Flight to Flores, Petén
Your round-trip flight departs La Aurora Airport at 6:00 AM. The flight takes approximately 50 minutes, landing at Mundo Maya International Airport in Flores at around 6:50 AM.
Morning — Free time in Flores
Upon arrival at Flores airport, take a taxi or tuk-tuk (approximately 15 minutes, not included) to your hotel in the island city of Flores. You'll have the morning free to explore the charming streets, lakeside views, and local restaurants of Isla de Flores at your own pace.
11:50 AM — Departure for Tikal National Park
Meet your collective transport at the "Yo Amo Petén" sign in Flores. The bus takes approximately 1.5 hours to reach Tikal National Park through the jungle road of Petén.
Afternoon & Sunset — Tikal National Park
Tikal is one of the greatest Maya cities ever excavated — a former capital that, at its height between 200 and 900 AD, was home to more than 100,000 people and dominated the political landscape of the ancient Maya world. Your expert guide leads you through the Grand Plaza, the Temple of the Great Jaguar (Temple I), the Temple of the Masks (Temple II), the North Acropolis, and the Lost World complex — each with detailed history, context, and stories that bring the ruins to life.
The tour culminates at sunset from one of Tikal's upper temples — one of the most spectacular views in all of Central America, with the tops of ancient pyramids emerging from an unbroken canopy of rainforest as howler monkeys call from the trees below.
The full Tikal tour lasts approximately 6 hours. After the tour, your collective transport returns you to Flores.
Night — Hotel in Flores (included)
One night's accommodation in a centrally located hotel in Flores is included. Rest and prepare for Day 2.
Day 2 — Cráter Azul · Return to Antigua
8:00 AM — Hotel pickup in Flores
Your collective transport picks you up from your hotel between 8:00 and 8:30 AM. Please be ready by 8:00 AM. The journey to the starting point of Cráter Azul takes approximately 1.5 hours by road.
Morning & Afternoon — Cráter Azul
Cráter Azul is one of Petén's best-kept secrets — a series of four extraordinary natural pools hidden in the jungle, named for their circular shape and the intense blue color of their water. The transparency is exceptional: you can see clearly through to the subaquatic vegetation below — water lilies, green and red algae, creating the appearance of a submerged garden.
Your covered boat takes you directly to the pools, where you'll spend the day swimming, snorkeling, and exploring all four pozas with your guide. Underwater photography is included — the visibility makes for spectacular shots. After the tour, lunch is served before returning to Flores.
The full Cráter Azul experience lasts approximately 7 hours.
8:45 PM — Departure from Flores airport
Your return flight departs Mundo Maya International Airport at 8:45 PM. Please arrive at the airport two hours before departure. Your private transfer from your hotel to the airport is included.
9:45 PM — Arrival in Guatemala City
Your private transfer meets you at La Aurora Airport and takes you back to your hotel in Antigua Guatemala, arriving at approximately 11:00 PM.
