Departamento del Petén Travel Guide: 477 reviews and 1,423 photos

Ok, everybody goes to Tikal, but there are other interesting places to visit....Flores City, the great mayan ruins of Yaxha, the La Pasion river with Ceibal Ruins...
Aunque Tikal es la maxima atraccion de Peten, tiene muchas otras posibilidades, hay otras ruinas menos conocidas, y aunque no tan majestuosas como Tikal, si son muy interesantes, ademas Flores y el lago de Peten Itza, tienen un encanto especial.
