VIP Extension

Tikal and Petén, the Ancient Maya Experience

Tikal National Park in Petén is one of the greatest archaeological treasures of the Maya world: temple pyramids rising above a rainforest full of wildlife. For travelers who want to go deeper into ancient Maya history, MJ AND FRIENDS offers Tikal as a VIP Extension to the main Guatemala Cultural Experience.

Pacing at the archaeological site

Tikal is large and mostly flat, with shaded forest paths between temple groups. Our guides set a gentle pace, plan rest stops, and adjust the route to the group. Climbing any structure is always optional.

Passport information is required for travelers who add this extension, because it includes domestic flights.
