remarkably intact under a mantle of thick vegetation for nine centuries. Many call Tikal one of the most spiritually powerful
spots on Earth as it possesses a certain quality of magic that fascinates and enchants. Tikal’s towering pyramids loom out of
the misty jungle canopy like living sentinels of ancient times. This monumental site includes more than 3,000 structures
extending over six square miles and includes palaces, temples, ceremonial platforms, ball courts, terraces, plazas, avenues
and steam baths.
It is a jungle paradise. Our guide will take us to the major temple sites
and then you will have some time to explore on your own. Keep an eye
out for monkeys, macaws and the cute coatimundi roaming around.

Marvel at the volcanoes that surround the azure waters of Lake Atitlan, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Enjoy a boat trip and visit small native villages that surround the lake and learn about their culture and spiritual beliefs.
