Best Things to Do in Tikal

• • Climbing the steps up the massive Mayan temples, and gazing across the rainforest and the ancient city of Tikal.
  • Whipping through the jungle canopy on a zipline and searching in between the trees for the bright colors of exotic birds.
  • Going on a sunrise tour of the Tikal temples. On your way there, you will walk under the brightest stars you’ve ever seen, and then watch the sky turn vibrant pink and orange above the dark foliage as the sun begins to rise and the jungle comes alive.
  • Learning about the dramatic politics and fascinating religion of the Mayan people, and the role Tikal played in the expansion of their ancient empire.
  • Observing wild jungle animals in their natural habitat, including the gorgeous ocellated turkeys that walk around the ancient ruins.
