Uaxactun was a major Mayan city and is situated about 12 miles north of Tikal. Camping next to the little visited site is truly memorable and allows you to watch the sunset with drinks and canapés and then climb the temple after a candlelit dinner.

La Lancha is a luxury property located halfway between Flores and Tikal on Lake Petén Itzá. Owned by Francis Ford Coppola, there are 10 guest casitas; four overlook the lake while the other six have jungle and partial lake views.
