In the dense jungle cover of hot and humid El Petén, you may hear the squawk of parrots and the chatter of monkeys. The great abundance of animal, bird and plant life are as exciting as the mysteries of the ancient Maya cities - and many sites in El Petén combine both.
Coverage includes Poptún, Flores, Santa Elena, El Remate, Tikal, Uaxactún, Sayaxché and remote Mayan sites of El Perú, El Zotz, Río Azul and El Mirador.
Buses are the way to get around ancient Mayan sites or you could rent a motorcycle or jeep. There are a heap of recommended hiking and eco-tours, as well as jungle treks to see wildlife. Places to sleep with great lake views and peaceful palm-thatched restaurants are listed. If you're feeling energetic there's horse riding, kayaking, canoeing and cycling to be done too.
