• Island of Flores - Prepare for a day filled with adventure and nature! Grab your backpack and get ready for a fun-filled day. The journey begins with a pickup from your hotel lobby on the Island of Flores. Relax and enjoy a 30-minute ride to the community of La Cobanerita.
• Tienda La Cobanerita - There are both long and short tours available to explore the Cobanerita Caves. The choice between the two will depend on the group’s physical condition and the recommendation of the local guide, who is the expert.

Upon arrival at the community of La Cobanerita, a 400-meter walk will lead to the first cave, “Cueva de las Pinturas” or the Cave of the Paintings. This cave is named for its ancient red, black, and yellow paintings, dating back centuries. These caves are considered sacred by the native Mayan communities and are believed to be entrances to the underworld.

• Tienda La Cobanerita - OWL CAVE: Next, we will proceed to the following cave. This area features a set of six caves known as “Cuevas de la Cobanerita.” Each cave has a unique name: Cueva de las Pinturas, Cueva del Tecolote, Cueva del Mono, and Cuevas del Sapo, translating to the Cave of the Paintings, the Owl Cave, the Monkey Cave, and the Toad Cave.

Each cave is named after something found within, such as ancient Mayan paintings, resident owls, a rock formation resembling a monkey, and a toad figure.

Some sections of the caves are narrow, so it’s advisable to avoid bringing a large backpack and to wear comfortable clothing, such as jeans, instead of shorts, to prevent scraping if bending is necessary.

We will explore two caves: The Paintings Cave and the Owl Cave, followed by a visit to a viewpoint 100 meters above Petén Itza Lake. Have your camera ready and savor every moment!

• San Benito - After visiting the caves and viewpoint, a local meal awaits you. Enjoy your lunch surrounded by nature, forest, and fresh air. It’s a perfect opportunity to recharge before heading to our next magical destination, The Beach of El Chechenal.
