Flores
We will start this adventure by picking you up at the lobby of your hotel in Flores. We will drive for around 1.5 hours, so sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way. Some parts of the road are not paved, but it is just the beginning of an amazing jungle full of life. We will arrive at the community of Cruce Dos Aguadas and start walking from there.

Cruce Dos Aguadas
A delicious breakfast will be waiting for you upon your arrival at the community of Cruce Dos Aguadas. We'll meet our local guides before we set off on our tour. To make your tour memorable, they will offer you a safety talk and instructions.
Although the community and the guides will be available to you, we nevertheless ask that you take some precautions of your own. For instance, you can bring medication for various illnesses that may arise along the route, such as headaches, indigestion, nausea, etc. Additionally, we advise you to regularly monitor the weather for the travel dates since you might need rubber boots if the ground is muddy. These are perfect for walking in muddy terrain.
Don't forget to bring comfortable clothing, a long-sleeved shirt, repellent, sun protection, and additional items, as you'll be spending 3 days in Peten's wilderness.
We'll enjoy a delicious box lunch on the route.
We will spend the first day walking in the jungle towards the first campsite.
