  2. Stop 2

    Passing by

    The tour begins with a comfortable and accessible meeting point on the charming Isla de Flores at 7:30 a.m. from where we will depart for the jungle to start this incredible adventure.

    We arrived for you at the meeting point with your name so we could identify you.

    If anyone else calls you Tour to Tikal and you don't have your name please ignore. Wait right on the signal please.

  3. El Remate

    Passing by

    En route to Tikal, we will pass through El Remate, a small town located on the shores of Lake Petén Itzá, where travelers can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake along the way.

  4. Stop 4

    25 min Admission not included

    Here you will find an impressive Tikal scale model, ideal for understanding the magnitude and distribution of its temples, squares and structures before entering the jungle. You will also have access to amenities such as restrooms, restaurant, cafeteria and local craft shops.

    Then, we will cross the entrance control and begin the real experience: an immersive hike through jungle trails, surrounded by natural sounds and wildlife.

    Along the way, our local guide will not only take you from one point to another... he will connect you to the surroundings, dynamically explaining the flora, fauna and archaeological secrets that made Tikal one of the most powerful civilizations in the Mayan world.

    Every step will bring you closer to an unforgettable moment... until, suddenly, the jungle opens and reveals before your eyes the majestic Central Square, the heart of Tikal, where ancient temples tower over history.

  5. Great Plaza

    45 min Admission not included

    This stunning open space is surrounded by some of Tikal's most iconic structures:

    The imposing Temple of the Great Jaguar (Temple I), built as a tomb of the ruler Jasaw Chan K'awiil I, one of the most important figures in the history of the city.

    Just opposite, Temple II (Temple of Masks), from where you get one of the best panoramic views of the entire square.

    And the Mayan Ball Game, where rituals that went beyond sport were performed, linked to the worldview and the balance between the earthly and spiritual worlds.

    Here, every structure tells a story... from sacred rituals to the political power that dominated much of the Mayan world.

    This is undoubtedly one of the most striking moments of the tour, where the greatness of Tikal is revealed in all its glory, surrounded by the jungle and wrapped in an atmosphere that connects past and present.

  6. Tikal Temple III

    15 min Admission not included

    Tikal Temple III, also known as the Temple of the High Priest, is one of the most impressive structures in the ancient Mayan city.

    Built around 810 AD, this temple stands approximately 55 meters high and stands out for its elegant architecture and historical importance within the Tikal ceremonial complex.

    During the tour, travelers will be able to admire this majestic pyramid surrounded by the rainforest of Petén, while discovering the history and legacy of the Mayan civilization.

  7. Temple IV

    30 min Admission not included

    Temple IV of Tikal is the tallest structure in the ancient Mayan city and one of the most impressive points of the tour.

    Approximately 70 meters high, it offers one of the best panoramic views of the Petén jungle and the temples emerging over the tropical forest.

    This iconic temple is also recognized as one of the settings used in the film Star Wars, making it a special place for both Mayan history lovers and film fans.

  8. Lost World

    30 min Admission not included

    Design and structure: The square is very wide and rectangular, with several platforms and stairs that served for public rituals and religious ceremonies. Its construction reflects the Mayan mastery of architecture and urban planning.

    Social and ceremonial function: It was used as a gathering place for the community, as well as a place for astronomical observations, as the structures around it are aligned with important solar events, such as solstices and equinoxes.

    Surrounded by rainforest, the square offers a magical and silent atmosphere, where the sounds of birds and monkeys create a living and enveloping environment for those who visit.

    Visitor experience: Walking through the square allows you to imagine the life of the ancient Mayans, their rituals and celebrations, making it feel like you are treading on a real lost world, almost intact after more than two thousand years of history.

  9. Stop 9

    one hour Admission included

    Delicious lunch:

    After exploring the Lost World Square and soaking in history, the tour heads to a local restaurant near Tikal or on the way to Flores.

    Authentic Guatemalan food, such as chicken in cucumber, kak'ik (traditional turkey soup), tamales and rice with beans, are served with natural tropical fruit juices.

    It’s a time to relax, share impressions of the tour and recharge before proceeding.

    Many restaurants offer spectacular views of the jungle or Lake Petén Itzá, making lunch a visual experience too.
