Set in the lush jungles of Guatemala lies Tikal, a Mayan temple complex dating back to 900 AD. Experiencing Tikal requires at least a day of exploring and lots of mosquito spray. This place is so spread out that it's best to hire a guide. You can't escape the heat and humidity even at sunrise but you can escape the people. No matter how sweaty or tired you are, hike to the top of the temples so you can get a panoramic view of this massive complex and the canopy, which is simply breathtaking. After a long day, spend the night in nearby Flores, a charming, colorful lakeside town 45 minutes outside of Tikal.
