Over 160 structures can be explored at this site, including castles, towers, and homes. Mayan rituals are also done by indigenous Guatemalans on special occasions, bringing Mayan culture to life.
Heading to the northern rainforests of the country, you will find Tikal, a remote site where an abandoned city was discovered by Europeans after being led there in the mid-1800s. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, several temples, pyramids, and pieces of artwork are immaculately preserved here.
