Tikal Day Trip
Description
Discover the remnants of the Maya civilization on a full-day excursion to Tikal National Park departing from Flores. The magnificent temples nestled within the Guatemalan jungle promise to captivate your senses!
Full-Day Excursion to Tikal
Upon your hotel pickup in Flores, we will embark on a bus journey towards Tikal National Park, renowned as the most significant Maya archaeological site in Guatemala, situated roughly an hour away.
As you step into Tikal National Park, the significance of this site will strike you immediately. A deep immersion in Maya culture awaits as we explore this vast complex, which features more than 3,000 structures uncovered by archaeologists… and many more yet to be revealed.
Guided by our knowledgeable expert in Maya history, you’ll delve into the stories of this ancient civilization that thrived in Mesoamerica. Central to Maya life was their religion, clearly illustrated by the spectacular temples on site, including the Temple of the Masks, the Temple of the Great Jaguar, the Temple of the Jaguar Priest, and the prominent Temple IV, the tallest structure at Tikal.
During our time in the park, we'll also enjoy a meal featuring vegetable soup as a starter, followed by a choice of chicken, beef, or pork for the main course, served with rice or vegetables (vegetarian options available). You will also receive a refreshing drink. Afterward, you'll have free time to further explore this monumental Maya city at your own pace.
After absorbing the wonders of these remarkable Maya ruins, we will return by bus to your hotel in Flores, concluding our tour.
