Certain archeological sites become national symbols for the country where they are located, appearing on everything from travel posters to airline ads, guidebook covers, and the local currency. What would Peru be without Machu Peicchu, Cambodia without Ankor Wat, Egypt without the Sphinx? The Mayan ruins of Tikal, one of the wonders of the ancient world represents the same symbolic role for Guatemala.

Tikal, Jaguar Temple

Tikal was one of the great Classic Maya cities mysteriously abandoned around AD 900. The site includes huge pyramids such as the Temple of the Jaguar (left). But Maya Civilization did not disappear, it continued in an altered form in the Yucatan and Chiapas regions of Mexico, Parts of Guatemala of other regions of Central America. Today are still keepers of the 260 day calendar in highland Guatemala towns, farmers plant maize and beans, healers use traditional plants and methods, copal incense is burned to old gods, Maya language are spoken, and women weave and wear their beautiful traje.

Tikal is conveniently located just an hour from Belize's Western border by road or 45 minutes flight from the Belize International Airport. Most jungle resorts in the Cayo area of Belize also offers Tikal day or overnight tours. Check our jungle resort packages for more details, however, since Tikal is such a large site most visitors prefer to be directly in or near the park for a one, two or three nights private tour package. The overnight packages below includes accommodations at or near the park.

All Tikal tours are private tours and transfers. The advantage of a private tour is the freedom to choose when and where to go and it is easier to observe wildlife in small groups.
