    Beautiful Mayan site in the heart of the jungle. Unfortunately it rained the entire day which isn’t great for climbing the structures (can be slippy) or walking around as there’s not too much shelter on/near the pyramids. Still worth a visit and great to hear about the history from a local guide. It’s quite expensive to go to but worth it. You need your passport or ID to buy entry ticket from the ticket booth.

    Epic in just about every way, from the early morning growls of howler monkeys and the chorus of waking birds, to the centuries old structures that have been unearthed in the jungle. Go early for sunrise, buy your tickets online and explore these massive grounds of the national park. Only an hour away from the small town island of Flores, there are lots of tour companies that you can visit with. A bucket list experience, worth visiting at least once. Bring water and snacks as there aren’t many options once you are on your way.

    This place is magical. You can do a private tour, visit on your own, sunset tour or sunrise tour. You can climb many of the temples/ pyramids via wooden staircases. The tour guides provide great information. The views are beautiful. It’s clean and well preserved. The is security all over the grounds ensuring people respect the park. Loved it here. Happy I visited.
