  Tikal Temple III

  Temple IV

  Temple IV is one of the most impressive points of Tikal and one of the places that cannot be missed during the visit. Its enormous structure rises above the jungle and offers an extraordinary view of the ancient Mayan city. During the tour, you will arrive at this imposing temple to appreciate its architecture and enjoy the surrounding landscape. From above, the immense jungle stretches to the horizon, and among the green canopy, the peaks of other Tikal temples can be seen. This place is special because it allows one to understand the true magnitude of Tikal: a great Mayan city built in the middle of a seemingly endless jungle. Furthermore, it is one of the most spectacular settings for taking photographs and keeping a unique memory of the visit. Climbing Temple IV and contemplating Tikal from the heights is one of those moments that make the experience much more than an archaeological visit.
