The Ultimate Aerial Adventure
Our guests often describe the El Mirador Helicopter Tours as a thrilling and exceptional experience. As you soar over the ancient Mayan rainforest, you’ll be filled with excitement as you encounter a variety of wildlife and get a bird’s-eye view of one of the most significant cities in the Mayan world. The best-selling tours offer spectacular views of Lake Peten Itza, the island of Flores, and the El Mirador archaeological site.

Explore the Rich History of El Mirador
During your guided tour, you will explore notable structures such as the El Tigre complex, Los Monos Group, and The Jaguar’s Claw Temple, which features impressively decorated masks. Discovered in 1926 and first photographed from the air in 1930, El Mirador remains a remote site deep within the jungle. It takes days to reach by car and foot, but our helicopter tours make it accessible within minutes, ensuring comfort and convenience.
A Journey Through Time
In the 1970s, archaeologists conducted a full dig at El Mirador and discovered that much of the construction predates other classic Maya cities like Tikal and Uaxactun. El Mirador flourished from the 6th century BC, peaking in the 3rd century BC, and was abandoned by the end of the 9th century CE. This fascinating history adds depth to your journey, offering a glimpse into an ancient civilization.
