About Tikal

Travel writers use words like spectacular, breathtaking and majestic when they describe Tikal, a magical city that was once an epicenter of Maya culture and perhaps the most famous example of pre-Columbian architecture on the planet. Book this day trip with Cahal Pech Tours, and every detail will be handled, from entrance fees to fresh fruits, snacks, water and lunch your guide brings along for the trip.

This UNESCO World Heritage site was once the prime ceremonial center and largest urban center of Maya society during the Middle Formative Period of 900 to 300 BC. Tikal remained a thriving metropolis into the Late Classic Period (600 to 900 AD), before the decline of the Maya populace. Filled with plazas, pyramids and palaces, Tikal was a center of advanced learning as evidenced by hieroglyphic writing and magnificent art found throughout the site that reminds visitors how enlightened this society once was.

You’ll need good shoes

Cahal Pech’s day trip to Tikal provides visitors with a healthy workout. While the main compound measures about one square mile, boundaries extend to around 6 square miles—every foot of which if filled with fascinating discoveries—including buildings under which are found burial chambers for royalty. It’s wise to read up on this amazing tourist site before you come so you will doubly appreciate everything you see.

By day’s end, return to Cahal Pech and your lofty digs overlooking a spectacular valley below to share your adventure with other guests staying at this affordable Belize resort. Book a spa session.
