[edit] Get in

Take a bus from Tikal at 4pm (Q15, $2 US) or drive, if you're driving your own vehicle you need to get permission from the Tikal administration office first. I think a mountain bike could be a good option here also, but I don´t know if they´ll give you permission or not, from Tikal it is 23KM. The bus returns at 6am, so you´ll need to spend the night if you go by bus.

[edit] Fees/Permits

Entry is Q25 or $3.50 US (May 2008). Bus Q15 ($2 US - I´m not sure if that´s return or one way).
