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 - Top hotels in San Jose Peten - Top Holiday Rentals in San Jose Peten ![Hotel Camino Real Tikal](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1870000/1867200/1867113/16507bd7_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Hotel Camino Real Tikal Lote 77, Parcelamiento Tayasal San Jose Peten Peten £92 7 Feb - 8 Feb includes taxes & fees Stay at this beach hotel in San Jose Peten.
