Tikal National Park covers 575 square kilometers of jungle and thousands of structures in ruins. Only the central part of the old city contains 3,000 buildings and covers about 16 square kilometers. Tikal is also part of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve of one million hectares created in 1990 to protect the dense forests of Petén, which began to disappear at an alarming rate due to population pressures, illegal logging and agricultural practices of felling and burning. Archaeologists estimate that the Maya settled in the area now known as Tikal in approximately 900 BC.

What are people saying about San Ignacio

Madolyn_W, Nov 2026

Perfect day!

The sunset tour is the way to go - was able to have the morning to ourselves and still make it home at a reasonable time. Got lucky with just me and my partner, felt like a private tour! Lucio was our driver and he had answers to all the questions my partner asked; once we arrived for lunch Marlon was there to greet us and take our order. Marlon took us ALL over the park and had incredible amounts of knowledge of Tikal. We had such a great time and were able to go at whatever pace we wanted because of group size. Seriously fantastic, wouldn’t have chose anyone else!!!

Jungle Pontoon Waterfall Adventure Tour

Jennifer_M, Oct 2026

Incredible jungle adventure with the best guides

What an incredible day! The kids have declared this the best trip of our entire holiday. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Giovanni and Nadir were both such wonderful guides and hosts, full of fun and care. My son says Giovanni's barbecue chicken is the best he's ever tasted! And Nadir was so wonderful with the children, they haven't stopped taking about our day. We saw howler monkeys, crocodiles and loads of beautiful birds. The 3 waterfalls were all stunning and all so different from each other. We loved swimming behind the first one, climbing to the top of the sandpaper waterfall was such a fun experience, and jumping from the rocks and the pontoon at twin falls was so much fun! I would recommend this trip to anyone, young or old!

ATM Cave Tour from San Ignacio Actun Tunichil Muknal

Kristin_H, Oct 2026

Do this one!

This is a must see( and Do!) I was not exactly sure what we were in for, but it far exceeded my expectations. If you are moderately athletic, love the water, love learning and love history. This is the one for you. Eric, our guide, was on time to the meeting place. He proceeded to give us a run down of the area and the people in the different towns we went through and even passed on the way to the cave. He had a funny sense of humor, but was all business when it came to the "guiding" part. You can tell he is passionate about what he does by being so well versed in information. We had lunch afterward that was prepared and delivered to the site. Highly recommend

Xunantunich & Cave Tubing Day Trip from San Ignacio

michelle_w, Sept 2026

Best experience in Belize

Our guide Leo was terrific! He is so passionate about the culture and his country and we learned a lot from him. His experience and knowledge made the trip even better. I know people who have visited Belize but not down these excursions and I feel like they missed out. Especially the cave tubing which has been the best part of our trip. Beautiful sights and so peaceful and a refreshing way to cool off. Our lunch was so delicious too, better than some of the fancy restaurants we’ve visited. I would highly recommend this experience and we look forward to doing it again next time we visit

We had an amazing experience on the ATM Cave tour! Our guide, Hugh, was incredibly enthusiastic and made the whole day so much more enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the cave, the Maya history, and the archaeological discoveries throughout the tour. His passion was contagious, and he made everyone feel safe and engaged from start to finish. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Hugh as your guide. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Ben_G, Aug 2026

Excellent and informative tour with a great lunch

Great tour - really knowledgeable and patient guide, lots of great information about ancient Mayan culture. Delicious lunch! Would recommend for any age of travelers! Moderately taxing in terms of walking/climbing, though the guide is happy to work with whatever level of exertion you would prefer.

Jeremy_S, Aug 2026

The activities were...

The activities were amazing and the guide was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. One thing I didn’t realize was that there was a long drive between the archaeological site and the cave tubing and then back to San Ignacio, so a fairly large portion of the day was spent in the car. However, I enjoyed the drive and seeing the towns and countryside. Overall, I think the trip was worth the money, and I recommend it!

Discover the ATM Cave from San Ignacio with sit down lunch

Nadia_A, July 2026

Great experience in ATM cave with Dimas!

Dimas was a fantastic guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. We are not athletic and were nervous about the cave. Dimas did a great job telling us where to step and how to safely get through it. The inside of the cave was unreal, unlike anything we ever have seen. You are so close to the relics, and it feels otherworldly! Definitely a must do in San Ignacio!

Daniel_B, June 2026

Once in lifetime experience.

Great experience. Our bus driver picked us up on time from our resort in San Ignacio and drove us to the border where we met our tour guide Levi. Levi was a great guide. Very informative and helpful. He taught us a lot about the pyramids and ancient Mayan culture. Would definitely go on this tour again.

Amazing ATM Cave tour—one of the highlights of our Belize trip. The cave itself is absolutely incredible and such a unique adventure.

Xunantunich and Jungle Pontoon Waterfall Adventure

Ashley_I, Jan 2026

A unique and can’t miss excursion!

An amazing and unique experience! Our day started with clear communication on where to meet and our guide, Giovanni Met us promptly at that time. He drove us out to Xunantunich and gave us a really nice tour of the area and took photos for us. He was also great at accommodating my dad, who had a hurt a foot. After our exploration completed, he grabbed some items for lunch and we were able to stock up on drinks for ourselves for the pontoon boat. A bit of a drive down a bumpy dirt road brought us the river and the amazing pontoon and met Giovanni‘a partner in crime. We got a beautiful tour of the river and were able to check out several waterfalls and beautiful pools. We were lucky enough to be there when the water was running so that we could climb Sandpaper Falls. Our guide was great at leading us up 5 levels of rock walled pools for a total of 150 ft. It was breathtaking! After the climbing we came back to lunch ready and waiting on the boat. It was delicious! The guys were great at taking care of us and making it a special experience!
