Tikal

Many people come to Guatemala just for Tikal. Built over a period of 1000 years, beginning in 400 BC, it was capital of one of the most powerful Mayan city-states at the time. After a day spent climbing the pyramids and sweltering in the jungle, a dip in Laka Peten Itza at Remate is welcome relief.
