A Road Less Traveled

As a lead up to releasing my photography work from the Mayan Ruins of Tikal in Northern Guatemala, here are a handful of shots of Lago de Petan Itza from the village of El Remate. Most people visiting Tikal either spend the night in Flores or in one of the 3 very expensive hotels located inside the national park. While there are plenty of options in Flores, it is over an hour away from the entrance to Tikal and therefor not ideal for a photographer like myself that likes to shoot as the sunrises. Another relatively unknown option is to find accommodation in the tranquil and quite village of El Remate on the north east corner of the lake, which nearly cuts the transportation time in half compared to staying in Flores. As you can see, this location also gives you an amazing view of the lake as the sunsets on the opposite side of the lake. I hope you enjoy! Be sure to check back in this afternoon for the release of my photography work from Tikal!
