Best tour that we had on our trip - I can't say enough good things about Hugo and our trip to Tikal. He was very knowledgable, patient, and social. Since we were staying in San Ignacio, he had a Belizean driver pick us up and take us to the Guatemalan border where we met with him. He taught us about the history of the area on our drive to Tikal. He knew how to get us around many of the choke points entering the park so that we could maximize our time in the historical area. He was very clear about what is 100% fact and what assumptions have been made about different ruins based on things that they have found. He also taught us about how they lived and different theories that archaeologists have about different ruins. He was very good at spotting different animals also. We saw a toucan (the national bird if Belize), a bunch of howler monkeys and spider monkeys, a few coatimundis, and a bunch of other animals and birds.
