Tikal National Park

After arriving in Tikal, we will begin to walk inside its beautiful jungle. The value that Tikal has for humanity is indescribable, because of this, it was declared a World Cultural and Natural Heritage of humanity in 1979 by UNESCO.

You will be speechless when we begin to see the first pre-Hispanic constructions, among them its impressive palaces, pyramids, and ceremonial centers. Tikal, in its heyday, had approximately 100,000 inhabitants and maintained close political relations with other indigenous kingdoms in Mexico, Honduras, and Belize.

During our visit, we will see impressive temples such as The Great Jaguar (Temple I), the Temple of the Masks (Temple II), the Temple of the Double-headed Serpent (Temple IV), and the Temple of the Inscriptions (Temple VI), as well as plazas, El Mundo Perdido Maya, ball courts, twin pyramid complexes, a large collection of carved monuments, and more.

Lunch Time

We are sure that after walking for a few hours, your appetite will wake up. We will take you to the restaurant in Tikal where you can choose a dish of your choice. Take your time to enjoy lunch, relax, and recharge. Enjoy!

Flores

At the end of our lunch, we will go back to your hotel. You can take advantage of this time to take a little nap or enjoy the Peten scenery. Thanks for traveling with us.
