Archaeological site is huge but lots of photo stops and rests. El Mirador was more ancient than Tikal and more rugged in subtropical forest.

Pre-tour coordination by Hector from GTM was excellent. He’s always in constant contact during the 2 days tour and ensured that everything went ok. Day 1 Tikal tour was amazing. Archaeological site is huge but lots of photo stops and rests. Good explanation by your guide, Israel. Flores overnight hotel was conveniently located in city centre and close to transport and restaurants. Hotel has air con and fan, warm water. breakfast was next to lake providing a relaxing mood. Day 2 helicopter tour to El Mirador was smooth. El Mirador was more ancient than Tikal and more rugged in subtropical forest. There were almost no other tourist groups on the island and it was as if we had the whole place to ourselves! Pilot Jair was friendly and explained about terrain where we flew over. There were 6 pax in the helicopter, El Mirador guide, Caesar, was patient and explained everything well. We were very fortunate to meet with Mr Richard Hansen, the archaeologist who discovered some site by chance! Some walking and climbs, good walking shoes needed. Overall highly recommended and well worth the time saved with the helicopter tour!Show more
