The Kohunlich Mayan ruins are situated in a secluded jungle setting near the border with Belize.
Relax for the approximately two-hour air-conditioned motorcoach ride to the ruins as your guide explains what you will see there.
Detailed Mayan temples await you, combined with lush, green, manicured gardens. See the Temple of the Large Masks, the Plaza of the Acropolis, the Plaza of the Estelas, Plaza Hundida and Plaza Merwin.
Kohunlich may have been one of the most important sites in the lower Peten region. In today's world, Kohunlich's broad range of architecture, natural beauty and expansive, uncrowded seclusion sets it apart from the more widely visited sites.
Enjoy a hearty snack on site before the return drive back to the ship.
Notes:
The visit to the ruins requires considerable walking over uneven terrain. Bring insect repellent, biodegradable sunscreen, and a hat. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Tripods and video cameras are not allowed at Kohunlich. There is a US$5 - $8 tax on using video cameras in the fort, calculated based on the day's exchange rate. Travel time to/from the Kohunlich site is approximately 2 hours and fifteen minutes each way.
