AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK - VOLUNTEER DAY




TIKAL NATIONAL PARK
Immerse yourself in the rich history and breathtaking beauty of Tikal National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the heart of Guatemala. This remarkable destination was once the epicenter of the Mayan civilization, flourishing from around 200 to 900 AD.
Your adventure begins with a full day dedicated to exploring the majestic Mayan temples that rise above the lush jungle canopy. As you wander through the ancient ruins, you’ll encounter towering pyramids, intricately carved stone slabs, and expansive plazas that tell the story of a civilization that thrived in harmony with nature.
In addition to the temples, Tikal National Park is home to diverse flora and fauna. Keep your eyes peeled for howler monkeys swinging through the trees, colorful toucans perched above, and the vibrant orchids that bloom throughout the park. The natural beauty of Tikal complements its historical significance, making it a truly enchanting destination.
During our journey, our guide will offer intriguing perspectives on the history, culture, and importance of the Mayan civilization. They'll support us in understanding the rituals, daily life, and accomplishments of the Mayans, enriching our experience in Guatemala.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or simply looking to immerse yourself in nature, a day spent in Tikal National Park promises to be unforgettable. Prepare to be captivated by the grandeur of the Mayan temples and the lush landscapes that surround them.
