Trip to Tikal
WhereTikal National Park, Petén, Guatemala
Hidden in the northern part of Guatemala, about a 40-minute flight or a 10-hour drive from Antigua, lies an area filled with howler monkeys, tropical forests, and ancient ruins. As far as it may be located, Petén is a department in Guatemala that is worth seeing if you have the time to squeeze it into your itinerary.
The towns in Petén are located around Lago Petén Itzá, which is a special lake for the locals and the wildlife in the area. Embrace the colourful island of Flores, experience the hospitality of the locals in El Remate, and explore the lost wonders of Tikal's ancient Mayan ruins.
