The Tikal National Park is an important UNESCO heritage site and a great place in Guatemala to spot the ancient Mayan ruins so we decided to book a sighteeing tour from Flores, south of Tikal.

The bus left really early, at three thirty in the morning, so we didn't get too much sleep the night before. The ride was a bit bumpy but fine and it took us about an hour and a half to drove up to Tikal.

We were supossed to arrive just in time for sunrise which turned out to be around ten in the morning so there we were in the middle of nowhere with a couple hours to kill before sunrise....
