The Tikal archaeological site boasts around 4,000 pre-Hispanic structures over an area of about 16 km2, with only 15% restored and open for exploration. The entire Tikal area spans approximately 576 km2, much of which remains uncleared, unmapped, and unexcavated.
- Great Plaza - The Great Plaza of Tikal serves as the ceremonial and political heart of the ancient Mayan city, surrounded by monumental structures like Temples I and II. This expansive and verdant space is crucial for understanding Tikal’s daily life. The Great Plaza is a must-visit, with opportunities to climb the surrounding temples, except for the Great Jaguar.
- Tikal Temple III - Also known as the Temple of the High Priest, Tikal Temple III is a funerary-ceremonial temple constructed in 810 AD under the direction of Mayan king Chi’taam. Although the monarch’s remains have not been found, the temple is believed to have been built for this purpose. Standing at 55 meters, it is one of Tikal’s tallest temples and is located near the Plaza Mayor.
- Temple IV - Temple IV is one of Tikal’s tallest structures, reaching 70 meters, making it the highest in Tikal. Constructed around 741 AD by ruler Yikin Chan Kawiil, it offers a panoramic view of the city and its lush surroundings and has been featured in numerous films.
- Lost World - Historical records suggest this square was organized as an astronomical complex, featuring a pyramid aligned with an eastern platform. These temples were used for stargazing, a method the Maya employed to track time using their astronomical techniques.

It serves as the mortuary pyramid for an unidentified ruler of Tikal’s other great city. At 57 meters, it is the second tallest structure in Tikal, following Temple IV. Dated to 600 AD, it is an impressive structure, restored from 1996 to 2023.
