Tikal Tour

The name "Tikal" means "Place of Voices" or "Place of Tongues" in Maya.

The ancient city of Tikal is located in the department of Petén. Tikal was declared a UNESCO
World Heritage site in 1979. Tikal was the capital of a conquest state that became one of the
most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya. Though monumental architecture at the site dates
back as far as the 4th century, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Piriod ca. 200 to 900
AD. During this time, the city dominated much of the Maya region politically, economically, and
militarily. It is our pleasure to take you to one of the most beautiful archaeological sites of
Guatemala. This is one of the largest, most magnificent archaeological sites in the world. To
visit Tikal, you need to take a plane from Guatemala City to Flores. It is approximately a one
and a half hour flight. Upon arriving in Flores we will have an additional one and a half hour drive
to the park.

During our tour we will be visiting the Central Acropolis, The Great Plaza, a Maya soccer
stadium and also the North Acropolis. We will also explore of one of the most famous temples of
Tikal, El Gran Jaguar (The big Jaguar). We will also climb temple ll. After a rest, we will climb the
largest and tallest temple of Tikal, which is temple lV. To finish the tour, we will visit Mundo
