Absolutely beautiful!!! A must see in my opinion. Very well maintained paths to get to the sites. Stairs to climb buildings are very safe and sturdy even if your afraid of heights. I would highly recommend hiring a guide to take you around. Bring a camel backpack or plenty of water. You can purchase drinks and snacks at several spots once inside. Bring bug spray and sunscreen. Be prepared to walk about 5 miles to see the highlights with some decent uphill grades. Wear good closed toe shoes. My photos will give you a good idea of what you will see, SPECTACULAR VIEWS! Oh, and lots of wildlife, I saw spider monkeys, hiwler monkeys, a Tuscan, owl a tarantula and more!!!

Magical way to experience Tikal The Tikal at Sunset tour is absolutely beautiful and a truly special way to experience this incredible site. As the sun lowers, the temples glow, the light softens, and the jungle comes alive with birds and wildlife. The sounds of nature, the shifting colors, and the peaceful atmosphere create an almost spiritual, contemplative feeling that’s very different from a daytime visit. Crowds are noticeably lighter than during the day, which makes the experience feel more intimate and immersive. Standing among the temples as the sun sets and the jungle awakens is unforgettable and easily one of the highlights of a trip to the region. The only small downside has nothing to do with the tour itself, but rather a few fellow visitors who talked continuously during the actual sunset, when many people were hoping for a quiet moment to take it all in. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall magic too much... Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see Tikal at its most atmospheric and awe-inspiring.

This place is magical. You can do a private tour, visit on your own, sunset tour or sunrise tour. You can climb many of the temples/ pyramids via wooden staircases. The tour guides provide great information. The views are beautiful. It’s clean and well preserved. The is security all over the grounds ensuring people respect the park. Loved it here. Happy I visited.

Probably one of the best places I ever visited in my life! With a perfect weather, a great tourist guide this place will be a pleasure for you. Bring a lot of water with you as in Tikal Is quite pricey with it.

Tallest maya pyramids. Huge groups of maya ruins (Tikal). Watching sunrise and listening to the howler monkeys roaring are great experience! Highly recommended.

Tikal National Park is truly one of a kind! 🌿✨ Walking through this ancient wonder feels like stepping back in time. The towering Mayan temples rise above the jungle canopy, offering breathtaking views that are perfect for quiet reflection and meditation. It’s not just the history that makes Tikal special — it’s the atmosphere. The peaceful surroundings allow you to disconnect from the world and connect with nature in a profound way. Every corner offers something magical, from the incredible architecture to the melodies of exotic birds and the rustle of wildlife moving through the jungle. 🦜🐒 Whether you climb to the top of Temple IV to watch the sunrise or simply sit and enjoy the serenity of the jungle, Tikal leaves you with a sense of awe and peace. It’s a place to enjoy the view, feel the history, and embrace the abundant wildlife all around you. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Guatemala — a land of wonder, meditation, and unforgettable beauty. 🌎💚
