Description

Due to its huge extension of tropical vegetation, the Maya Biosphere was created in El Petén in 1990 in an effort to conserve the largest and most important area of tropical forest remaining north of the Amazon which is home to a wide variety of exotic creatures such as jaguars and other wild cats, tapirs, monkeys,
crocodiles, and over 500 species of birds.

Hidden within the vast rainforest, innumerable Maya archaeological sites remain – some already discovered, partially excavated and restored, and who knows how many others still lie in wait! Among the most famous of these sites is Tikal – a double UNESCO World Heritage Site (culture & nature), where impressive structures tower over 60m (200ft) high, and well above the treetops).

Who This Trip Is Good For 

This is a great experience for adventurous people who love the jungle, the heat, the ancient Maya ruins and stepping outside their comfort zone.

Difficulty Level 

Hard – The weather is intense with the added element of mosquitos and being in the jungle.

Please keep in mind, we will automatically refund bookings that are disrupted by extreme weather conditions, last minute cancellations from our suppliers or the minimum number is not met by the booking deadline.

What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?

We’ll control the weather. Just kidding! Remote Year can’t control the weather or many other factors that go into planning events. In the event of a change due to weather, the City Manager will do their best to provide a make-up option. Due to last minute changes and busy monthly schedules, we cannot guarantee it works for everyone but we’ll do our best! If you are not able to attend the make-up date(s), we will fully refund your booking.

I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.

Can I book for a friend / family member?

Yes! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. Please refer to our Friends and Family policy: Friends & Family (visitors of active Remotes and active Citizens) may be granted access to private Remote Year events, Local Experiences, Side Trips, Community Events, Local Amenity and Services at an extra cost determined by the Marketplace or City Team. Remote Year reserves the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using Remote Year services. To avoid abuse of services, non-active Citizens, op-out Remotes, or Remotes who have left a Program can not use services as Friends & Family of Active Remotes or Active Citizens.

I haven’t received a booking confirmation email, can you help? If I cannot attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes, you may transfer your ticket to another Remote, Citizen or Family/Friend. Please notify the City Manager as soon as possible to confirm the change.
