Tikal
Maya temple towers rise above Guatemalan rainforest, with the classic canopy view from the top of Temple IV.
Explore the Gran Plaza, then climb the wooden stairs of Temple IV for temples rising through the canopy. Do not climb the Great Jaguar or any structure without authorized stairs. Sunrise and sunset visits need extra tickets and an authorized guide. Bring your passport and ticket PDF, plus water and insect repellent for the hot forest paths.
