The tours start from Flores where you take a car to Carmelita. From there it's a 5 or 6 days tour on foot. Every night you sleep at a different camp and you have the opportunity to explore different ancient ruins along the way. There are a ton of different tour operators in Flores. Some more honest than others. So make sure to talk to a couple before you decide on one. It's worth choosing one where there is a guide and someone separate to cook and to look after the mules. We went with Dinastia Kan "El Mirador" and were very very happy with our choice.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6059480/96acc110-55d6-4ffc-a1aa-bdc95c247828.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit San Jose Peten Things to do Reviews ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
