Tikal National Park

Tucked away amidst lush rainforest is the ancient Mayan city of Tikal. Step back in time and discover some of Tikal’s 3,000 ruins ranging from temples to palaces and public squares during this small connection.  

Inhabited from the 6th century B.C. to the 10th century A.D, Tikal National Park represents one of the most impressive achievements of the Mayan civilization. Whilst no one knows for sure what led to the decline and fall of the Mayan empire, speculation circles around droughts, over population and wars with rival groups. In any case, the Mayan culture plays a major role in this part of Central America’s history.
