Acropolis Norte is a key architectural complex within the expansive Yaxha archaeological site, offering stunning views of Lake Yaxha. The site is accessible primarily by road from Flores/Santa Elena, often via unpaved and potentially rough roads, making 4x4 transport advisable, especially during the rainy season (May-November). While possible to visit independently by arranging transport, a guided tour is highly recommended for historical context, wildlife spotting, and navigation through the sprawling site's uneven terrain; the site is not well-suited for visitors with significant mobility limitations. Entrance fees for foreigners are typically around $10-13 USD, and transport costs from Flores can range from $20-40+ USD per person for a shuttle, with guide fees extra or included in tour packages. A typical visit to the site takes 3-5 hours of exploration, but including travel, it's a full-day excursion from nearby towns. Useful insights include bringing ample water, insect repellent, sunscreen, and wearing comfortable shoes, as well as enjoying the less crowded atmosphere compared to Tikal and the abundant wildlife.
