Tikal is arguably the most impressive of the Mayan sites in Guatemala. Tikal National Park contains six huge temple pyramids, some of which are over sixty meters (200 ft) in height. Visitors can admire outstanding steep pyramids and temples towering above the top of the jungle. Temple IV, in fact, is the second tallest pyramid in Mesoamerica after "La Danta" in El Mirador.

Archaeologists rediscovered Tikal in 1848. Although excavation work began in 1956 and continues today, only a fraction of the thousands of ancient structures including remains of royal palaces, numerous smaller pyramids, palaces, residences and stelaes (inscribed Mayan stone monuments) have been excavated. This gives visitors an idea of the remarkable size of the city-state of Tikal.
