About Hotel Gringo Perdido

The hidden gem of Guatemalan tourism, Hotel Gringo Perdido is a tranquil, ecological paradise located off the quiet shores of Lago del Petén Itzá in El Remate, Petén, Guatemala. Gringo Perdido is an ideal place to get in touch with nature, appreciate and learn about Guatemalan culture and visit many of the breathtaking archeological sites, of great international prestige. Gringo Perdido is the only hotel located within the boundaries of the Biotopo Cerro Cahui Plant and Wildlife Preserve. Take to the trails with an expert guide to partake in all that Cerro Cahui has to offer. Shady, rustic hillside gardens, elegant rooms, bungalows, and pastoral campgrounds make Hotel Gringo Perdido not just a place to stay, but an experience that will never be forgotten. From its beginnings as the first hotel in El Remate, Hotel Gringo Perdido has strived to maintain low environmental impacts and take advantage of the beauty of its natural settings. Surrounded by the tropical rainforest and all of nature’s animals, no other hotel in El Remate is more private and secluded.  It’s close to everything, but away from it all. The hotel is a thirty-minute stroll from the center of town, a thirty-minute car ride from the Flores international airport, and only thirty minutes from the famous Mayan city, Tikal.

Hotel Gringo Perdido offers some of the best food in El Remate, cooked right in front of you.  Enjoy breakfast and dinner in an open-air dining room, featuring a healthy International menu with Guatemalan overtones. All baked goods, desserts, and yogurt are made fresh in-house. The spacious dining room area is perfect for parties of any size including student groups, family reunions, and wedding parties. Breakfast includes hot bran muffins, yogurt, granola, fruit, eggs, beans, homemade breads and tortillas, fresh fruit juices, and tea or coffee. Dinner is a spectacular four-course meal, which includes soup, salad, a main course, dessert, homemade breads, juice and tea or coffee.

We are also excited to announce the exciting opening of Pyramid Paraiso, the only resort of its kind in Peten.  This 8-room eco-luxury resort will open in March, 2010.  Click here for a preview:  Pyramid Paraiso
