TIKAL


The Maya of Mesoamerica reached remarkable intellectual and artistic heights during the Classic period (250 – 900AD). They built huge temples and pyramids, inscribed stone monuments, made major advances in mathematics and astronomy, and developed complex hieroglyphic scripts. But their great civilization was doomed to undergo a mysterious collapse that would leave their mighty temples abandoned.

Tikal was the capital of the Mayan empire during their classic period. Located north in Guatemala in the rain forest region of the country, it is often called the soul of the earth. This magical place is guaranteed to be a great adventure and is one hour by plane. Of the park's 222 square miles, only 10 square miles of central Tikal have been mapped and over 3,000 separate buildings have been revealed: temples, shrines, ceremonial platforms, residences, ball courts, terraces, causeways and plazas. Excavated by the University of Pennsylvania between 1956 and 1969, it is la largest excavated site in the Americas, with an exuberant fauna and amazing plant life.

The easiest way to visit is through a package so that you may maximize your time and enjoyment. Here are the packages that we offer at hotels inside the Tikal National Park. We are also happy to make other accommodations for you.
