Posada Caribe

El Petén


Located on a lazy stretch of the river about halfway between Sayaxché and Laguna Petexbatún is this appealingly remote encampment managed by the ebullient don Julián and family. Seven humble, thatched bungalows with wood-plank floors and lacy curtains are set back from the riverbank. Meals are served for around Q100 each.

From here you can arrange tours to the archaeological site of Dos Pilas. You'll travel by pick-up truck to the village of El Nacimiento, from where it's a 30-minute hike to the site.
