![Tikal was absolutely incredible. get there early and do the sunrise tour. You'll get to watch the sunrise from the top of the tallest Myan pyramid yet discovered. You get to watch as the jungle just comes alive. The birds wake up, and then the monkeys, and then the other animals of the rainforest. it was a beautiful experience. Do it sometime in the months of December - February so that you will be more likely to actually see the sunrise in a clear sky as opposed to shrouded by early morning fog.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/1253/dd08efd2-1994-4d40-b2b3-7a09070ec475.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
