SOBRE AMFRUTY - ASOCIACIóN DE MUJERES DE FRUTAS TROPICALES DE YAXHA
AMFRUTY impulsa el turismo comunitario con productos 100% artesanales: vinos, mermeladas, conservas y galletas de ramón.
AMFRUTY es una iniciativa de turismo comunitario y gastronómico integrada por mujeres emprendedoras de comunidades cercanas al Parque Nacional Yaxhá-Nakum-Naranjo, en Petén, Guatemala. A través de la elaboración y comercialización de productos artesanales como mermeladas, conservas, vinos y galletas de ramón, AMFRUTY no solo ofrece una experiencia auténtica de sabores locales, sino que también impulsa el desarrollo económico y social de más de 110 familias en 12 comunidades, beneficiando a más de 400 personas.
Los productos se pueden adquirir de lunes a domingo, en horario de 08:00 a 17:00 horas, en puntos de venta dentro del área protegida, gracias al convenio de colaboración entre las comunidades organizadas y autoridades gubernamentales como la DGPCN/MICUDE y CONAP. Este acuerdo permite a las comunidades vender productos y ofrecer servicios turísticos en el parque, convirtiendo a este modelo en un caso único y exitoso de conservación, desarrollo y sostenibilidad en Guatemala.
AMFRUTY forma parte de la Asociación para el Desarrollo Sostenible de Yaxhá (ASODESTY), que agrupa a siete asociaciones comunitarias comprometidas con la gestión participativa del parque. Cada compra realizada a AMFRUTY no solo apoya a las mujeres productoras, sino que fortalece un modelo que genera empleos, ingresos dignos y participación comunitaria, asegurando la conservación de la biodiversidad y el patrimonio cultural de esta área natural protegida.
Visitar AMFRUTY es saborear el Petén profundo y ser parte activa de un esfuerzo colectivo que une tradición, conservación y empoderamiento local.

This is where they filmed Survivor: Guatemala. We got very close to howler monkeys. The sunset from the top of one of the temples of Survivor was neat. Tourist groups only come here at sunset. The entrance fee is only 80 quetzales compared to 150 quetzales at Tikal. The temples aren't quite as impressive as Tikal, but there is a beautiful view of the water here.

Had this gem all to myself. It was extremely quiet when the howler monkeys weren't roaring. I arrived at 0800 and stayed until 1600. The weather was sunny with a light sprinkle in the afternoon. The monkeys and birds were very active. The ruins were amazing to see. My fav was the lookout. Its approx 150 steps to the top but you can see the other temples. I went down to the lake and could have stayed there all day watching the bird activity. The walkways are very slippery so be careful. The trails are easy to follow with good signs just like tikal. You can arrange a tour via you hotel. No passport needed for this one. Just fill out a little piece of paper and pay cash only 80 Q. No card payment or atm so bring cash. Bring passport just in case that info changes 😉. Tikal requires passport. There's a few nature trails and gravel roads that lead off into the jungle. I found more monkeys and birds back there. Very lively place.

This park has a different energy than Tikal. Guatemalas third largest national park. The Mayan temples are stunning. The park received much less people than Tikal. Highly recommend for everyone. You can also camp here and go hiking

Super cool place! Not nearly as developed as Tikal so it has a very different feel - it's much quieter, not nearly as busy, but on the flip side the services aren't quite as good. The ruins are excellent, as was our guide Nelson, but the welcome building was half underwater (no washrooms) and the restaurant was closed. I would recommend a visit despite this if you're into Mayan ruins!

Yaxha is beautiful. My recommendation is to visit Yaxha first and Tikal second. Because Yaxha is the right level to introduce you to the Mayans for the first time. You will understand and enjoy Tikal way more, if you lay the grounds with Yaxha first.
