Hidden away in the jungle of Guatemala, Tikal saw the light of day in the 8th century BC. Inhabited for over a thousand years, the ancient city would encompass up to 12,000 structures and 2 million inhabitants. It reveals its extraordinary temple-pyramids, made using sheer human strength. Tikal had multiple pyramids, an astronomical observatory, and advanced water management systems, showcasing the Mayan civilization's architectural and scientific achievements.

The North Acropolis, the Mundo Perdido astronomical observatory, the magnificent Temple of the Great Jaguar, and Temple IV, one of the tallest in all Mesoamerica, regain their colors of yesteryear and provide us with a unique testimonial of Maya art and ingenuity.
