Tikal Maya Temple Tour

Special Tour

We start our day with a 15 min drive from San Ignacio to the Western Border of Belize and Guatemala for our Tikal Maya Temple Tour.

TIKAL – which means “place of voices” was the largest city of the Maya Classic Period with a population estimated to have been over 90,000 at its peak. Its highest structure (Temple IV) properly known as the temple of the two-headed snake measures an impressive 210 feet. The site is set in a lush, tropical rainforest with exotic creatures at every turn. Howler Monkeys, Spider Monkeys and countless species of exotic birds go about their daily routine, unprovoked by humans, in this environment. In 1979 UNESCO declared Tikal a World Heritage site.

We start our day with a 15 minute drive from San Ignacio to the Western Border of Belize and Guatemala. After crossing the border sit back and enjoy a scenic 1.5 hour drive to Tikal. Once at the site prepare yourself for a fun day of exploring and learning about the incredible history of this magnificent site. We will conclude our day by breaking for lunch. A freshly prepared meal will be waiting for you at one of the restaurants located within the park. After lunch we return to Belize.
