DESCRIPTION
Travel and enjoy Tikal, the most excavated, studied and important archaeological site in Guatemala and Central America. Your Tikal Expedition guide will pick you up at your hotel in Flores, to board the vehicle. After an hour of travel we arrive at Tikal and begin the tour.
Tikal flourished between the years 200 and 850 AD. C. and then it was abandoned. Its iconic ruins of temples and palaces include the giant ceremonial pyramid Mundo Perdido and the Temple of the Great Jaguar. At 70 meters, Temple IV is the pre-Columbian structure and has a panoramic view. Tikal covers 576 km2 of exuberant jungle surrounding the ceremonial center. It took the University of Pennsylvania 13 years to uncover about 10 miles2 squares of structures in Tikal. However, many remain to be discovered. So, take some advice… Do not try to see all of Tikal in one day, even if you are in excellent shape!
Tikal has a certain magic… Like all unanswered riddles it fascinates anyone and we dare say… Tikal is so irresistible that once you are there, you will find yourself wanting to stay a moment longer!
