- Tour Description
Step into the ancient world of the Maya with a full day guided tour to Tikal, one of the most spectacular and iconic archaeological sites in Central America. Departing from San Ignacio, you will cross the western border into Guatemala and journey through lush jungle landscapes to reach this UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the heart of the Tikal National Park.
Once at the site, explore towering temples that rise above the forest canopy, expansive plazas, and ceremonial complexes that date back to the height of the Classic Period, around 200 to 900 AD.
