The Sacred Ceiba is Guatemala's national symbol. In Maya times it provided cotton to make adequate and fresh clothes to wear in the hot and steamy jungle

Whilst we were visiting Tikal ruins with our children, we stayed at Zapote Tree Inn. We found Guatemala to be a welcoming and safe country.

I don’t recommend the tikal sunrise tour as your chances of seeing the actual sun rise are as low as 20%. Plus you have to get up at 3am. If you’re looking for ideas on what to do in Tikal, head to our other post with loads of suggestions.
