My photos with trip links are below if you're interested. In Petén, consider hiring archaeologist/naturalist Roxy Ortiz - she's terrific! I've pasted my personal safety guidelines below from a previous thread. The safety questions come up A LOT - you can search for add'l opinions. The share shuttles will drop you at your hotel also be sure to have the address handy as they sometimes won't know where it is even if they say they do to get your business. If you're worried about making that transition and not having Spanish, why not consider shelling out the extra $20-30 and arrange a driver? Even after a dozen trips and Spanish when I arrive at night I like walking out and seeing someone my hotel trusts holding up a sign with my name on it.
