Embark on a captivating journey to Tikal National Park, home to one of the largest and most significant ancient Maya cities ever discovered. Rising above the rainforest canopy, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a rare opportunity to explore the mysteries of one of the most advanced civilisations of the ancient Americas.
Your adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or the airport in Flores, ensuring a smooth and stress-free start to the day. After a scenic drive of approximately one hour, you will enter the vast protected jungle of Tikal, where wildlife, towering temples, and centuries of history await.
During a 3–4 hour guided exploration led by a professional expert guide, discover the fascinating storey of the Mayan civilisation. Walk through ancient plazas, climb impressive temples, and explore palaces once inhabited by Maya royalty. Learn about their remarkable achievements in astronomy, mathematics, architecture, warfare strategies, and spiritual beliefs.
More than 3,000 structures lie hidden within the jungle, and only about 30% have been excavated—making every visit feel like stepping into an ongoing archaeological discovery.
After the tour, enjoy a delicious traditional Guatemalan lunch at one of the park’s best restaurants before returning to Flores.
