Biotopo Cerro Cahuí
Biotopo Protegido Cerro Cahuí
A rainforest reserve on the northeastern shore of Lake Petén Itzá. A hilltop viewing platform overlooks the lake, and howler monkeys and toucans are often seen.
Cerro Cahuí is a lowland rainforest reserve of about 650 hectares near the village of El Remate. Two loop trails of roughly 4 to 6 km cross the forest and climb to a hilltop viewing platform with panoramic views of Lake Petén Itzá. Howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans and wild turkeys are commonly seen. Entry costs little, and some sections of the trail are steep. El Remate lies on the road between Flores and Tikal, so you can visit the reserve on the way to or from Tikal.
