Experience two of the most magical moments Tikal has to offer: sunrise or sunset in the heart of the ancient Maya world.

Whether you’re watching the jungle awaken with the first light of day or enjoying the golden colors of sunset above the rainforest canopy, this tour offers a truly unique way to experience one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological sites.

Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll follow ancient jungle paths while exploring impressive temples, ceremonial plazas, and the fascinating history of one of the greatest Maya cities ever built.

Along the way, you’ll hear the sounds of the rainforest, spot local wildlife, and discover the deep connection the Maya had with nature, the sky, and the passage of time.

On sunrise departures, we’ll make our way to one of the park’s best viewpoints to witness the first light appearing over the jungle. On sunset tours, you’ll experience a completely different atmosphere as the warm evening light transforms the landscape and the rainforest begins to settle into the night.

Every visit to Tikal is different. Mist, wildlife, changing light, and the natural rhythms of the jungle all contribute to an experience that is never exactly the same twice.
