    Little howler monkey in a village near
    Tikal Ruins has a voice so penetrating,
    you'd swear that howling could rattle
    branches right off the big ceiba trees.
    These wiry & wary critters can be heard
    chattering more than half a mile away !!

    For more than 1,000 years the Maya of Tikal ruled
    Meso-America. The impassioned stories our guide

    IMPORTANT REMINDER about PRICES & TARIFFS:

    All prices for Belize eco-tours & Tikal Ruins tours listed here are subject to possible change in this steadily evolving travel market. Lodging, side tour & diving prices are traditionally stable, while air prices can fluctuate daily. Until air tickets are issued, all airlines reserve the right to change airfares without notice -- an industry standard per FAA rules.
