Of the park's 222 square miles only 10 square miles of central Tikal has been mapped and over 3,000 separate buildings have been revealed: temples, shrines, ceremonial platforms, residences, ball courts, terraces, causeways and plazas.

One of the best vantage points to watch the sun go down is from the top of Temple II.

A flashlight is extremely useful as darkness falls early in tropical jungles.


The Visitor's Centre is well worth a visit to see the amazing Map Relief of Tikal. The guards often relax here in the evening and play the marimbas - listen out for the music - you are welcome to join them. Carry on past the Centre and you will find the quaint little post office - most people miss this unusual gem!
