Yaxhá Tours and Tickets
58 Reviews
Yaxhá was founded circa 800 BC along the shores of Laguna Yaxhá, and was home to more than 40,000 people at its peak, around AD 250. Though overshadowed by Tikal, this ancient city is Guatemala’s third largest archaeological site. And since it’s less visited than its famous sibling, Yaxhá offers a peaceful, introspective experience—especially for birders and Maya aficionados.

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest attractions of this site is to see the sunset over the "Temple of the Red Hands".
