About

Peten

Jungle is what marks much of this Guatemalan department. And that is why it has become such a popular spot for tourists to explore and simply marvel at remnants of the Mayan past that they stumble upon here. Perhaps one of the reasons the area is most visited: The Maya Biosphere Reserve which spans over 21,000 square kilometers and was created in the 90s to protect the tropical forest region north of the Amazon. Those who travel through the reserve may encounter crocodiles and monkeys in addition to ancient Mayan ruins.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
