Description

We are an ecologically friendly hotel and camp ground located in the foothills of the  Mayan mountains at an elevation of 600 Meters. The ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal are just two hours away from us. At Finca Ixobel you can relax and enjoy the natural world

The farm has a small organic garden which supplies delicious salad greens daily and it’s own chickens which provide fresh eggs every morning in time for breakfast. The restaurant offers many breakfast and lunch choices; the evening meal is served buffet style with an excellent selection of dishes, including vegetarian choices.

Spend your time relaxing in one of the numerous hammocks situated throughout the grounds or, if you are more adventurous, join one of our various tours.

Our limestone hills provide wonderful caves to explore.  Make sure you ask us about the River Cave, an experience you will never forget. 

We also offer trips to the Ruins of Tikal, the Mayan Cave of Naj Tunich and the Río Mopán Waterfalls combined with a visit to the Ruins of Ixcún and Museum in Dolores. 

The Finca Ixobel Jungle Trek goes to a beautiful unspoiled area in the vast jungle where you experience the rainforest in it's authentic state.  The guide will take you through the rainforest to see different kinds of plant and animal life, rivers and springs.

Other Activities

  • Swimming. On the property there is a natural spring-fed pond in a picturesque setting which is ideal for swimming and relaxing. The spring water goes in on one side and is pushed out the other via a waterfall to keep the water constantly fresh. You can soak up the sun or lie in a hammock under one of the thatch-roofed ranchos.

  • Hiking

  • Bird-Watching

  • Reference Library and Book Exchange

  • Soccer, Volleyball, Table Tennis, board games.
