Paraíso Nimah Eco Lodge

Ride out to Paraiso Nimah Eco Lodge and discover a quiet lakeside retreat where the peaceful atmosphere invites you to slow down and unwind. Hammocks overlooking Lake Petén Itzá offer the perfect place to relax, while a long pier stretches into the water with roofed seating areas at the end, ideal for resting, swimming, or launching a kayak or paddleboard. The calm shoreline is excellent for birdwatching, with kingfishers and snail kites often seen nearby. For deeper relaxation, you can book a massage or experience a traditional Maya sauna. Reaching the lodge by bike makes the journey part of the adventure, though a 20-minute boat ride is also available.

The route to Paraíso Nimah follows the main road out of town before turning onto a gravel road that leads through the forest. From there, you simply continue along the road until you reach the end, where a sign indicates the final stretch to Paraíso Nimah.

Most of the ride is on gravel terrain, with a short section of packed dirt near the end. About half of the route is shaded by trees, offering cooler riding conditions and the chance to spot monkeys and other wildlife along the way.

If it has rained recently, be prepared for muddy sections. Depending on the amount of rainfall, some areas may require walking your bike around or through the mud. The final stretch toward Paraíso Nimah can also become quite muddy in wet conditions.

We strongly recommend asking at the shop about the current road conditions before setting out, especially during or after heavy rain. In very wet weather, the route may not be suitable for riding.
