Tikal: The Awakening Mayan Kingdom in the Jungle

Explore one of the most powerful Mayan cities of the ancient world in the heart of the Guatemalan jungle.

Located in the department of Petén in northern Guatemala, Tikal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most impressive destinations in the Americas. Surrounded by tropical jungle and full of mystery, this ancient ceremonial center transports you to the grandeur of the Mayan civilization like no other place.

A millenary city among ceibas and jaguars

Tikal was one of the most important cities of the classic Maya world, with monumental temples that rise above the jungle canopy. On your visit you can tour ceremonial plazas, imposing pyramids, royal acropolis and sacred roads (sacbes) while listening to the song of toucans and the distant howl of monkeys.

A spiritual and natural experience

Tikal is not only history, it is a sensory experience. Walking among ancient moss-covered structures, feeling the humidity of the jungle, and discovering wildlife – such as coatis, macaws, and perhaps a jaguar – makes this visit a magical adventure.
