Kohunlich Ruins Premier Tour additional info

Kohunlich, a fascinating Mayan archaeological site, has a rich history dating back to the Pre-Classic period (200 BC). However, its most significant development occurred during the Early Classic period (250-600 AD).

Kohunlich thrived as a regional trade hub connecting the Yucatan Peninsula with the Peten region of Guatemala. It served as a vital stopover point for merchants and travelers, fostering cultural exchange and economic prosperity. However, the city's decline began in the Late Classic period, eventually leading to its abandonment around 1100 AD.

The journey from Costa Maya to Kohunlich takes approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes. Please note that recent road construction may cause some minor discomfort during a short stretch of the journey. Additionally, the final 9 kilometers of the road can be narrow and potentially bumpy during the rainy season.

Be prepared for a moderate amount of walking, as the site covers a significant area. While the paths are well-maintained, exploring the various structures and hidden gems may involve some distance. Comfortable footwear is recommended.

This tour is suitable for adventurers of all ages. While children are welcome, please note that the tour involves moderate walking and climbing. Parents are encouraged to assess their child's ability to participate in such activities.
