Renowned as the “Place of Voices,” Tikal is a timeless testament to the Mayan civilization. Here, the echoes of the past resonate through hieroglyphics etched in limestone, distinctive architecture, and the remnants of vividly colored pottery.
In 1955, Tikal was designated a National Park, celebrated for its cultural significance and diverse ecosystem. Its status elevated to a National Monument due to its cultural richness and the plethora of flora and fauna species. Recognized by UNESCO as a Cultural and Natural Heritage of Humanity in 1979, Tikal also forms a core area within the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala’s largest protected area, safeguarding nature and Mayan archaeological sites.
Spanning 576 sq. km, Tikal National Park houses over 3000 structures across various plazas, including the Acropolis, ceremonial temples, residences, ball courts, and astronomical complexes. The park’s humid subtropical forest environment serves as a living laboratory of fauna and flora, encapsulating the essence of the Mayan natural world.

Immerse yourself in the lush Mayan forest, encounter abundant wildlife, and stand in awe before ancient temples. These millennial structures silently narrate the rise, zenith, and fall of one of history’s most significant civilizations.
