Located in the modern-day department of Petén, northern Guatemala, it is approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Tikal, Yaxha is situated on the north shore of Lake Yaxha.
Yaxha is the third largest ruin in Guatemala, with only Tikal and El Mirador being larger. The centre of the city consisted of a number of plazas and architectural groups, with outlying groups and the lake shore linked by causeways.

I had such a great tour of Yaxha by Cesar. I toured Yaxha from about 10am to 1pm; during the tour I received so much information from Cesar, he was very knowledgeable about the site and the Mayans. During this time I also asked a million questions to which Cesar was able to provide responses to. The tour pace was great in that I wasn't made to rush or walk to each site quickly it was very chill. Overall this was a great tour and with Cesar leading it you'll definitely become a Mayan expert .
