Tikal National Park - Embark on an exploration of one of the most significant Mayan sites in Central America. Your personal guide will collect you from your accommodation, and after an approximately one-hour journey, we will reach Tikal National Park.
Upon entering the park, unleash your creativity as we delve into an enigmatic realm where over 3000 edifices exist, yet a mere 30% have been unearthed. Discover the lifestyle of the Mayan elite in their palatial residences, learn about their cultural norms, societal hierarchy, and spiritual beliefs.
Our exploration leads us to the heart of the park, where you will encounter the iconic Pyramid of the Great Jaguar, a symbol of Guatemala. You will also have the opportunity to ascend the Temple of the Masks: Temple 2. Our adventure doesn’t stop there as we proceed to The Lost World to gain insight into the origins of the city and the Mayans’ precise calendrical systems. The journey culminates with an ascent to one of the tallest pyramids on the planet: Temple IV, standing at 64 meters tall. This pyramid has served as a backdrop for various films, including the inaugural Star Wars film in 1977 and the eleventh installment of the James Bond series in 1979.
