DESCRIPTION
Experience one of the most memorable Mayan experiences: watch the sunrise from the top of Temple IV, the Two-Headed Serpent, in Tikal, and explore the enigmatic city of Uaxactún, the birthplace of Mesoamerican astronomy, on the same day.
The adventure begins at dawn, when your private guide will pick you up from your hotel in Flores or El Remate. After entering the jungle, you'll begin the hike to Temple IV, the tallest structure in Tikal. From the top, you'll have an incomparable view of the jungle canopy and the temples that rise through the mist. There, in complete tranquility, you'll watch the sun slowly rise while the songs of birds and the roars of howler monkeys mark the beginning of a new day. It's a magical moment that deeply connects you with the spirituality of the Mayan world.
After touring Tikal's main plazas, temples, and acropolis, you'll enjoy a well-deserved breakfast inside the park. Later, you'll continue to Uaxactún, an intimate and less-visited archaeological site of enormous historical significance. Here, you'll discover its legendary astronomical observatories, temples, and stelae, which reveal how the ancient Maya mastered time and celestial movements with astonishing precision.
The tranquility of Uaxactún, surrounded by jungle and with its authentic atmosphere, contrasts perfectly with the monumentality of Tikal, offering you a complete, profound, and exclusive experience.
At the end of the afternoon, you'll return comfortably to your hotel in your private transportation, your heart filled with history, nature, and unforgettable moments in the heart of Petén.
