The Ancient Mayan City of Tikal
This is a top pick! I spent the whole day at the ancient Mayan city of Tikal. It is one of the world's most impressive archaeological sights. The city is huge and it is unbelievable that only 15% of of the ruins has actually been dug out and restored. Everywhere you walk, ...
Into Guatemala and Tikal
This is a top pick! ... we walked across the causeway to the town of Santa Elena and from the market we caught a collectivo to the little village of El Remate (15q / 35mins). Posada Eden lived up to it´s name as it had lovely little bungalows with views of the lake for 60q a ...
Guatemala!
This is a top pick! A bus - boat - bus journey brought me to Flores, a very nice village, which forms a tiny island in lago Peten Itza (connected by land by one bridge). I did the trip completely organised by an agency in Palenque but could as well ...
El Mirador - Mayan Lost City Trek
This is a top pick! ... 400 BC) under another one (200AD). The archeologist was so astonished by the discoveries they were making here! He claimed that El Mirador was much larger than Tikal which is one of the largest city of the Mayan Empire. He showed us a ...
Our last stop (this time) in Guatemala --Tikal --
This is a top pick! Sat. 12th was another real early travel day (do you see a pattern forming?). We were up at 6am and walking to the bus terminal to get a bus or micro up to tikal. It ended up being microbus, boat, microbus, chicken bus. It was a long 9 and 1/2 hours of ...
Tikalled pink
This is a top pick! Our guide to the ancient and vastly impressive junglebound Mayan temple site Tikal nudged us to ponder the question of how the people more than 2000 years ago were able to haul these massive stones here and erect the temples without the use of wheel. I ...
Mayan Tempels at Dusk
This is a top pick! We arrived and stayed our first night in Flores, a cute laid-back town on an island in the middle of Lake Peten Itza. Flores acts as a base for many Tikal travelers. The next day we took a shuttle to Tikal, the most famous of Mayan ...
Surrounded by the mystic of TIKAL
This is a top pick! The sleep was good in the quiet jungle surroundings. No too much mosquitos, or maybe all my available blood have been drained yesterday. I woke up when it was still dark outside. With no electricity in our room, i yelled quietly at Juliette for her ...
Road to Uaxactun
This is a top pick! We took the chicken bus around 2pm towards Tikal, our destination was beyond Tikal to a smaller ruin of Uaxactun. This was my idea after convincing Juliette we needed some off the beaten track adventure. We were the only non-local on the bus. The bus was ...
Tikal
It took a whole day to travel from Belize to Flores. Its a nice place and thers a great choice of places to eat, eventually choose a place that overlooked the lake. Its a 4.20am start for the 5.00am bus from Flores to Tikal. If you were to rate the ...

Tikal ruins
... have been twice as long, effectively taking 2 days. So despite the expense we got ourselves an extra day by flying. The town of El Remate is a really small place on the shore of Lago Peten, about 40 minutes frmo Tikal. We took a 5am bus to the ...
Mayan Ruins
Arrived in Tikal around 4:45am. Tikal has the most magnificent of all the Mayan ruins. The ruins are in the middle of the rainforest and was where the 3rd episode of Star Wars was filmed. Well, a scene of Star Wars anyway. To travel through a ...
Tikal: Mayans didn't walk this much!
Many visitors to Tikal National Park try to get to there before sunrise so they can climb to the top of a pyramid and watch the sunrise. I'm told it is a very spiritual experience. To me, sleeping past sun up is a very spiritual experience. Our bus ...
Final Post
... the other side of the lake from Flores and is the closest city to the park of Tikal. We found an awesome place to stay in El Remate. The owner was super hospitable and was also the driver for the shuttle to Tikal every day so he knew the ins and the ...
Les Ruines mayas de Tikal

TIKAL
We decided to take our time getting to Guatemala City, mostly because my cold had become pretty severe, so we decided to leave the tent up and take a nice leisurely day visiting the huge ancient mayan ruins at Tikal. Im not even going to try to describe ...
Temples of Doom
Tikal is a Mayan temple site in the middle of the jungle in Northern Guatemala. Enroute to the site, the weather turned wet pretty quickly and it didn't take long before we found a fallen tree had blocked the road. The locals were pretty quick with their ...
El Remate
Hola from El Remate. This morning we woke up a little later, had some breakfast made by Theo, our host at the Parrot Nest and headed out. We tried to find a mechanic because the crazy bumpy roads have caused our car to lose a ...
Rushing Around Guatemala
... enormous cargo. We were actually booked to stay in a hotel halfway between Flores and Tikal in a small village called El Remate so our journey had another, exhausting leg which, inevitably, involved dodgy collectivos and interminable waiting whilst they ...

Now I've slept in some weird places but this one..
The day started well with a few bargains. The local taxi drivers wanted $25 to take us to the border so we decided to wait for the bus. However, two minutes later a local guy pulled over and offered to take us for $5. The border crossing ...
