Ancient Maya City of Tikal

Deep in the rainforest lies one of the most spectacular of all Maya sites in Mesoamerica. Tikal is in the Peten department of Guatemala, about 1.5 hours from Belize's western border. Located within the Maya Biosphere Reserve, the flora and fauna in this area is almost as breathtaking as the Maya temples themselves.

The original city of Tikal covered an area of 35 square miles.  Although archaeologists have been excavating the site since the 1930's, there is at least another 100 years of work to be done.  On this trip you will visit many of the temples at the site, learn fascinating Maya history and immerse yourself in a spectacular jungle setting teeming with wildlife.  Note: given the distance, this long tour involves a lot of time in a van.

Everything surpassed our expectations. We came here as new diver because we wanted an operation we could trust and we found that here.

We appreciate that Hamanasi is able to provide exceptional experience for visitors while working to maintain the wonder of Belize.

Hamanasi helped introduce my family to the Garifuna & Maya people of Belize. Everything is so close – the mountains, caves, waterfalls, animals, ruins – this is such a peaceful country with rich culture and a people that cares about the environment. What a hidden gem! Thank you!
