About Tikal
Tikal is Guatemala's greatest Mayan treasure—pyramids and palaces rising from the jungle like an ancient city frozen in time. The largest pyramid reaches 65 meters above the rainforest canopy, offering sunrise views across unbroken jungle. Tikal remains largely excavated, with vines still clinging to stone and jaguars allegedly prowling the forest floor.
