The Mayan civilization, known for its prominence from southern Mexico to much of Guatemala and portions of Belize and Honduras, was marked by its city kings’ desire to create enduring legacies. This is evident in the numerous pyramids, altars, inscriptions and other tokens of their existence that have endured till this day.
Famous Mayan metropolises like Tikal and El Mirador in the Peten region of Guatemala are well known. Yet, there are also lesser-known settlements such as Tayasal, home of El Mirador del Rey Canek.
Tayasal holds the distinction of being one of the final Mayan territories to be seized by the Spaniards in 1697. Overgrown with vegetation, Tayasal was hidden from the Spaniards and remained officially undiscovered until it was reported in 1965. Our knowledge of the city has grown with fresh excavations and findings since then.
Unquestionably, this tour promises to be an enthralling journey from start to finish. You’ll be immersed in luxuriant landscapes, Mayan lore, the breathtaking scenery of El Mirador del Rey Canek, and captivating sunsets.
