Yaxhá Sunset Tour from Flores | Mayan Temples & Lagoon Views

Experience the magic of the ancient Maya at sunset on this Yaxhá Sunset Tour, operated by Ash Travel. Departing from Flores Island, this afternoon journey takes you to Yaxhá National Park, one of Petén’s most impressive and less-crowded archaeological sites.

Surrounded by jungle and overlooking the stunning Laguna de Yaxhá, this site offers a unique blend of history, nature, and tranquility. As you explore the ancient temples with an authorized guide, you’ll learn about the city’s role in the Mayan world and its connection to nearby ceremonial centers.

The highlight of the tour is the climb to Temple 216, the tallest structure in the park, where you’ll witness a spectacular sunset over the lagoon — a moment considered one of the most beautiful in all of Petén.
