Review & FAQ:
Discovered in the 1840s, Tikal was once one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Mayans during the Classical Era of more than 1000 years ago. Tucked away in the dense jungle, the UNESCO Heritage of Humanity site has some temples that archaeologists are still in the process of uncovering. Some of the temples can be climbed, thanks to steep wooden staircases, and there are plenty of walking trails that allow visitors to explore the site. Overnight accommodation is available at Tikal , but it's quite expensive and some visitors choose to stay in the nearby city of Flores.
