What you can expect
Tikal, a magnificent ancient Mayan city nestled deep within the lush rainforests of northern Guatemala, is a true testament to the brilliance of the Mayan civilisation. This extraordinary site, hidden within the Tikal National Park and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, spans approximately 576 square kilometres. Dating back to around 400 BC, Tikal once thrived during the classic Mayan period, only to be reclaimed by the jungle's embrace. It wasn't until the 20th century that this remarkable city was unearthed and excavated.
Tikal's towering temples, rising from the dense jungle, offer a glimpse into the might and grandeur of the ancient Mayans. The surrounding rainforest is home to a rich array of wildlife, including howler and spider monkeys, toucans, parakeets, and other exotic creatures. Exploring Tikal takes you on a journey to understand Mayan spirituality and their cosmic worldview. This captivating experience unveils one of the most significant and majestic cities from the Mayan era.
Your experienced tour guide will accompany you throughout the adventure, providing historical insights and answering your questions. They will also introduce you to the incredible biodiversity of Tikal. As you explore, the echoing calls of howler monkeys and the agile movements of spider monkeys will remind you of the jungle's vibrant life. Tikal is a habitat for toucans, coatimundis, and a multitude of other remarkable creatures.
The ruins of Tikal will rise before you much like they did in antiquity, providing a stairway to heaven as you follow in the footsteps of the ancients.
