Tikal


Tikal might well be the most interesting pre-Columbian site architecturally. You can stroll the well-excavated site and be amazed at every turn. If you come early and leave the central acropolis for the late afternoon, it is possible to dodge the crowds and have many areas for yourself. Just go to the central bus station in Flores, take the local minivan (you’ll sit with the workers and it’s cheaper) and you have the freedom to return whenever you want. Should you want a guide, you can easily arrange someone on-site, so there’s absolutely no need to prearrange although everybody will tell you to do so.

My highlight was climbing Templo V which will have you fight vertigo but rewards you with spectacular views and meditative solitude.
