Tikal is one of the most awsome places in Central America. Go there and when there please also spend a few quetsales on the museum. Without money it will deteriorate further. What a pitty that would be.

We went here after going through a fair amount of Tikal itself. Although the pictures were very cool to look at, there was no English translation of the history of Tikal which was kind of unfortunate. At the same time, there was no lighting so some of the artifacts were tough to look at. They just looked like rocks. With lighting you would have maybe been able to see some of the detailing on the rocks.

There are 2 museums here...one covers the archealogic timeline with good photos....but all in Spanish, AND due electricity issues, hard to see if the sun is not shining! The 2nd museum is tiny, with little of interest except the mummy and the jade found in the tomb.

The colection of ceramics at the museum is nice to see because it has a relation with the city and temple has been excavated, I would say that they are master pieces found by Pensylvania proyect at the tikal excavations.
-
A new facility using the old cabinets from the old museum. But, their storeroom is packed with artifacts to be cataloged and put on display . . . someday soon I hope.

We visited Tikal in Guatemala in October. Its a full (hard) days ride from Guatemala City. It was still warm (90's) and humid in the jungle. The Myan site is amazing, and well worth a visit. The ruins are thousands of years old and only a small part has been uncovered. Many of the temples and pyramids can be climbed for a great view. The park is huge, and fillwd with wildlife, so plan for one or more days and LOTS of (sweaty) walking. We secured a guide and I would strongly recommend it. With the guide - we saw many things we would not have found or understood on our own. I would also suggest bringing a bag lunch if you're coming for just one day. Rest rooms and cold drinks are available in the park. Billooltewah USA

Hi!We just visited Tikal, Guatemala this October, while staying in San Ignacio, Belize.We did not know how difficult it would be getting across the border but with the help of our awesome tour guide "Carlos the Caveman" it was easy.Guatemala requires that all Tikal guides be from there so we met Carlos's Guatemalan counterpart at the border and the paperwork went like a snap. Don't worry about the guys with machine guns. I think their bark is worse than their bite. Just don't stare at them. Wow! The drive from San Ignacio to Tikal is beautiful. Good roads, rolling hills, lakes, tiny villages with great coffee and local food. Our tour guide stopped at a little village so we could stretch our legs (the drive is about an hour and a half total) and showed us how the local ladies wash clothes in the lake (See photo). We have it easy compared to these folk.Tikal was amazing. It never ends and one temple is larger and more amazing than the next. The grand plaza was incredible. It is unbelievable to think that this "grand daddy" of Mayan ruins, built around 600 AD is so accessible to the public. You are allowed everywhere and to climb most everything. Tikal is in the jungle and some, if not most, of the ruins are partially covered by vegetation. Howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, racoony things as well as a resident crocodile are easily seen. Wear hiking boots or sneakers as there are bugs and really big spiders.If you get thirsty on the approx. 10 km walking tour you can buy cold beer or bottled water at little bars set up in the shade of the jungle. Guatemalan beer is called Gallo and it is good. Very good actually. The main entrance has a nice gift shop, a scale mock up of the entire ruin and a pretty good restaurant.Not going to kid you. You better be in shape for this. It is a lot of walking, high humidity and warm. Also, climbing the temples is fun and the views are amazing but if you are afraid of heights you may want to think twice. Guatemalan safety is not what we are used to (which is refreshing actually) so falling off one of these bad boys is not hard.Thumbs up!, but not for the faint of heart or if you have a bad heart.Trevor

Now you pay Q30 to enter one museo and get a ticket that will let you into the other, so be sure to see both.

Tikal is a gem of the Mayan world. Guatemala is rightly proud of the complex, and it shows. The grounds were beautifully maintained, and the ruins themselves were awe inspiring. For anyone who says that the Maya were a primitive culture, I dare them to visit.

The two museum buildings have excellent exhibits. We were disappointed that the original museum building with two of the main artifacts: Stela 31 and a king's burial artifacts is closed. Given the minimal staffing required to keep it open, it is shocking that the park has closed it.
