Parque Natural Ixpanpajul

Parque Natural Ixpanpajul is a splendid forest, the natural shelter of a wide variety of plants, trees and animals that have decided to stay in this place, the cradle of the Mayan culture.

A Group of Guatemalans runs the park.  They are involved in Natural Sciences and environment and possess a deep respect for life in all its manifestations.  They also consider a paramount duty to work arduously in the conservation of the forest, giving this a reasonable use.  The group also looks for diverse recreation alternatives to achieve an interrelation of coexistence and balance between visitor and nature.
