The Ultimate Maya Hotspot

The sprawling ruins of Tikal National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site in the Guatemalan rainforest, is the ideal introduction to one of the world’s most fascinating civilizations.

Why You Need to Go
The Maya people figured out the stars, invented two calendars, had a sophisticated way of writing, launched what was possibly the world’s first form of soccer, brought us chocolate and lived in peace with nature.

What’s Waiting for You There?
Tikal was a major pre-Columbian political, economic and military center. Today the site safeguards the remains of a major Maya ceremonial center comprising temples, palaces, public squares, residences, ball-game courts, roads, squares and ramps.

What You Won’t Forget
The moment you see the Maya ruins for the first time, peaking through the jungle canopy as you’re approaching Tikal. It’s a powerful and magical sight.
