Tikal is located in Guatemala, about 50 miles northwest of the border with Belize. In this remote area, one of the greatest civilizations of it's time established a city that endured for centuries. Set in the jungle canopy, the site today consists of over 3,000 buildings, including a handful of impressively tall temples that tower above the forest. At its peak some 1,500 years ago, Tikal was home to an estimated 100,000 Maya. We flew from Belize City and stayed the night in Floras, the next day we drove up to the Park and stayed at a lodge called the Jungle Lodge
