Tikal National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the collaboration between the Guatemalan and Belizean Governments. Nestled in the Peten department of Guatemala, it is situated approximately 71 miles from the charming town of San Ignacio.
In pre-Columbian times, Tikal stood as the largest urban archaeological site of the Maya Civilization. The city’s earliest settlements date back to 900 BCE, reaching its pinnacle around 600 CE during the height of Mayan Civilization. Tikal’s population fluctuated, ranging from 9,000 to an astonishing 90,000 inhabitants.
The exploration of these remarkable sites commenced in the 1830s and continued through the mid-20th century when Mayan writing systems began to be deciphered. Today, Tikal National Park continues to beckon visitors, allowing them to ascend many of the site’s towering Temples (Pyramids), some reaching heights of 65 meters, including the iconic Guatemala Jaguar Temple.
