Jungle & Archeology

The cradle of Maya civilization. Explore ancient temples surrounded by deep, pristine rainforest.

Quick Facts & Logistics

Tikal is the most important archeological site of the Mayan empire. Travel Time: While overland transit is possible with connecting trips in Lanquin or Rio Dulce, a direct 45-minute flight from Guatemala City to Mundo Maya International Airport is highly recommended for optimal comfort. If you are traveling by land, the best option is to take an overnight bus from the company Fuentes del Norte, saving you a hotel night and letting you travel in comfortable reclining seats, arriving in Flores the next morning ready for Tikal.
