Tikal National Park

Absolutely stunning, we went without tour guide or arranged transport. Entrance is 150qtz for foreigners and you can buy tickets online (govt website) or at the entrance. The amount of temples and ruins with all their separate uses and stories is another level, besides that we saw a ton of birds and a couple of mammals, it's like what you would imagine when being in a jungle and parrots fly around. A sunrise ticket costs an additional 100 qtz and you can enter from 4AM, but when we got there it was misty until 11AM or so, so I imagine there was little to no sunrise to be seen

Tikal National Park is absolutely breathtaking. The scenery and wildlife are stunning—walking through the jungle and seeing the ancient temples rise above the trees is something you’ll never forget. Hearing the howler monkeys and spotting wildlife along the paths makes the experience even more magical. I personally don’t recommend the sunrise or sunset tours. The views felt too obstructed by dense jungle foliage and large crowds of tourists, which took away from the peaceful atmosphere. The best part about Tikal is being able to roam around freely. In the early morning hours especially, it feels like you have the entire park to yourself. That quiet time, surrounded by history and nature, is truly special. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and take your time exploring. Tikal is an unforgettable experience. 🌿

Absolutely breathtaking. The best part is that Tikal isn’t just ruins. It’s so much more. When we were walking the trails, we heard Howler Monkeys and saw Spider Monkeys swinging in the trees. We also saw so many species of birds, Mealy Parrots, a Crested Guan, an Orange-breasted Falcon, a Masked Tityra, and so much more. No matter who you are, Tikal will not disappoint.

Spectacular place to visit. Well maintained parks and the ruins were amazing. Bring a lunch or grab something from the restaurant or other food vendors located in a few locations around the park. We chose not to use a guide, but would recommend it.

Took a tour from Flores with Belize Go. Good guide and bus journey. Would suggest having a guide. Tikal itself is very impressive and a huge site. Some level of fitness required to get round it and climb the temples.

This is a faster route from San Ignacio, Belize. There are many Mayan ruins here; consider climbing the numerous steps a pleasant hike! This afternoon, the sunlight shone on the ruins, creating a breathtaking scene! Worth a visit.

Tikal Mayan Ruins. Absolutely amazing!! Worth a trip for sure! Still able to climb on these ruins. Well maintained place. Small snack shacks and drink booths set up ran by the national park. Wear good walking shoes and bring bug spray or wear pants. Monkeys, jaguars, birds. Subtropical weather so could have rain in the forecast and it never falls or no rain and it pours so bring an umbrella but don’t focus on the weather app for your trip. Just go!

Amazing experience - TikalGo does a fantastic job with tours too! A guide is pretty much a must have to understand what you are looking at and effectively navigate this large park.
