My family and I are wanting to go here and just want to your the place by ourselves. How much would it be because I’ve been researching a lot of places and they say 100+ Per person

I would agree with the other answers about getting a guide if you want to see animals and the point on the main road. I would recommend going during the day. My wife and I booked through our resort. They drove us there and we told them what time to pick us up. We did not book a guide. We were there 1/2 day and saw no animals, but many birds. I would imagine that a guide could help spot a few that we missed, but not that much. If you are interested in the different plants and trees, then the guide would be worth it. A few other thing to consider: * the place is big and there are long trails, so plan ahead on the trails you want to hike. * the site of the airplane crash is worth seeing, but it is far from many of the trails. We asked our driver if he could drive us to the trail (which you pass on the way out) and wait 5 minutes for us. The plane is only about a 2 minute hike from the road. That worked out great for us, especially since we did it at the end of the day and we were too pooped to hoof it down the road to the trail. Ask if your driver can do that for you.

There are two waterfalls. The closer one is 45 minutes each way. The double waterfall is about 3 hours round trip.

We’ve stayed in „rustic cabin” which was basicaly a double room with twin beds - the rooms are „connected” by the common ceiling but when we were there there was only one more room talent. There’s only beds and a night stand, the light was very subtle so you need a headlamp or something (and to go to the toilet or kitchen when it’s dark outside. In the kitchen there is a stove for sure and some utensils etc. I cant say for sure there was a fridge because we didnt use it but i think there should be. The standards are pretty much foresty and you have to be aware of all the bugs, spiders and so on. Oh and there is only cold water but it shouldnt be a surprise :) also dont try to wąsy your clothes there because they wont get dry 😀

I wasn’t aware they had guided trails. You definitely need transportation from the highway to the actual park which is 6 miles. That costed us $20US one way. Inside we just asked which trail had the most bang for the buck since we wanted to also tune down the river before heading back to our accommodation. We did Tiger’s eye which is marked by a small sign, and it’s a bit challenging so have plenty of water and snacks. You’ll get views of the entire Basin at the top and two lovely waterfalls if you keep following the signs once you’ve reached the top. It’s another 20 mins down to the water falls. Hope this helps!

Thank you, this helps.

I have had great difficulty responding as the site does not allow for anything resembling an email address to be transmitted. Try contacting me at brucetate, then the at sign, then rogers, and the dot and com.

I wouldn’t recommend an overnight, necessarily, but a day in the park is doable for kids. They even have a kids visitor’s center with good information about the animals. Not sure about the height restrictions for tubing, but depending on when you go, the river will be higher and faster, especially during the rainy season. Tiger fern is a fun hike with some swimming. There’s also the ben’s bluff trail....the swimming/waterfall stop is well before the hike gets strenuous. Kids could also do the plane wreck hike, and would probably like seeing the old, broken plane. I think there’s also the butterfly trail, which, if I remember correctly, is a quick & flat loop. On your way up to Cockscomb, stop by Maya Center To learn about maya culture and get some chocolate...Julio enjoys when families and young visitors come through, and you won’t meet a family more welcoming!
