We just took the skyway trail. It started well with a clear trail with beautiful rope bridges. You reach the top of the trees and can watch monkeys in action. We got a map of the trail which looked simple. The problem started when we crossed the last bridge after the view point which is not so attractive. The map shows a junction of two ways but the actual were three ways. Along ALL the trail there is not even one sign to help with direction. So we of course chose the wrong way and after sharp decent found ourselves in a middle of jungle. I hope the authorities will put signs to help visitors complete easily the trail.
This place is great, you can spend days having fun!It´s beautiful and the owners are super nice.Great option for the X-treme and chilled back tourists. Close to the central area but far enough to be able to enjoy true nature ;)Enjoy!
This is a wonderful place to visit - we did the canopy walk as well as the zip line trip. The forest is beautiful here and we just spent a very relaxing time walking very slowly and savouring the atmosphere and beauty. The canopy walk paths are well maintained and it is not a difficult walk. The zip lining was fun and also well organised. The only down side was that they should probably put a limit on the number of people doing the zip lining - it was a little crowded at times huddled on the platforms.
Ixpanpajul is a great way of having fun healthy style! There are plenty of activities to spend a day with the family of group. It has some nice walking trails, canopy, horses, restaurant, bathrooms, etc. Is about a 10 minute drive from the Isla de Flores.
This is a great parkt. good location close to Tikal National Park and Yaxha Park, both important Mayan sites on Northern Guatemala. They have some nice cabins but also good camping sites. You can bring your tent or ther will rent you one.I really love their canopy system. 4 routes, very high, fast, great views! and also, exciting hanging bridges. Great places to disconect yourself from the noisy civilization.
I visited the park to walk the skywalk. It was beautiful, but a little disappointing. I was hoping to see some birds, and I saw a few. I felt like it was a hit expensive for what it was. It is probably a great activity if you have kids. The bridges are pretty impressive. They do pick you up in Flores and bring you back, which I appreciated.
Great adventure of ziplining through the forest, hanging bridges and trails. We had a lot of fun and is really close to the island of Flores, about 20 minute drive. A good idea to go with friends, family or couple. The park is clean, bathrooms and restaurant are available. Make sure you bring some water, the trails uphill can make you sweat a little. Loved the nice ranch with hammocks on the hill and rest area at the entrance.
We spent a few fun hours hiking the park and traversing the hanging bridges. Besides being a lot of fun, some of the bridges offer amazing views of the landscape. There are lots of monkeys and birds to watch as well.If you contact them, they will pick up from your hotel in Flores and bring you back, free of charge.
It is probably worth visiting Ixpanpajul for the zip lines but not for the skywalk alone. It was a two hour walk through jungle crossing by suspension bridges but we were disappointed as we saw very few birds, no flowers or animals. It was a very expensive way to spend an afternoon particularly as we paid for a taxi from Flores.
Looking at this from a backpacker perspective, this was a rather expensive excursion that was fun but nothing special. We did the zip lining activity and they charged 125Q each (they tried to charge more but we talked them down), then made us wait 40 minutes until more people arrived to take us out to do it. It was fun, and we felt very safe, but over pretty quickly (about 20 minutes). Overall, a fun activity but nothing amazing.
