Set within the eastern reaches of Petén, Yaxhá-Nakum-Naranjo National Monument encompasses several Mayan sites, with Yaxhá being the most renowned. This site gained international fame during the filming of Survivor Guatemala in 2005. Located on a limestone ridge, Yaxhá overlooks two lagoons, providing a spectacular backdrop for exploring ancient Mayan ruins. In addition to visiting the ruins, guests can engage in birdwatching, hiking, and boating in the area.

The accommodations at the lodge overlook Lake Yaxhá and are surrounded by lush jungle, perfectly embodying a rural setting. This family-owned establishment has been welcoming guests since 1987, offering a cozy and intimate experience.

Lodgings consist of thatched-roof bungalows facing the lake. Some rooms feature private bathrooms, while others offer shared facilities—ideal for rinsing off after a day of exploring or hiking through the jungle. Each bungalow includes a closet for hanging clothes and comfortable beds for a restful night's sleep. Some also come with covered outdoor balconies strung with hammocks, perfect for relaxing while watching hummingbirds flutter nearby.

Breakfast and dinner are included in the cost of certain rooms. The meals are satisfying and change daily based on available ingredients, often prepared using a traditional wood-burning stove.

Guests can hike along trails that extend from the lodge or join a nighttime crocodile-watching tour, where you can spot reflective eyes peeking above the water's surface.

Please note that electricity is available for only 4.5 hours each evening, so it's advisable to charge devices during this time. Bringing a headlamp or flashlight is also recommended for your stay.
