Together Ecotourism & Adventure Specialists and our community partners from Carmelita & Uaxactun are developing first class ecotourism adventures in the Mirador Rio Azul National Park. All of our guides receive proper training to be able to work in this most fragile environment. You have a choice of including a world class wilderness first aid certified English speaking guide and outdoor expert or traveling "raw" with our community guides, who speak only a little English.

All your meals –breakfasts, lunch & dinner- as well as all the water you will drink, ingredients to prepare all of your meals & your cook are all included in our adventure. Our community guide Angel and our muleteer Nestor will guide you through the jungle trails.

All the mules that will carry all of your equipment are included. You have the choice of having mules that you can share with others and ride part of the way or having a mule to ride the whole way if necessary.

Part of the proceeds from this tour will go to the Guatemalan Ministry of Culture and Sport's World Heritage Delegation, so that more sites in Guatemala -including El Mirador- may be declared World Heritage Sites with UNESCO.
