About Us

Tikal Inn has been family owned and operated for almost 50 years by the Ortiz family. We have been pioneers of eco-friendly tourism here in the Peten, Guatemala, and have long supported conservation efforts with many of our family members working directly and indirectly in the planning and implementation of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve.The Mayan Biosphere Reserve is a protected tract of rain forest which spans Guatemala, Belize and Mexico and its preservation honors the natural and cultural legacies of Central America. We have also been involved in various archaeological projects in the region.

Tikal Inn also employs local people that reside in the towns bordering Tikal and, by staying with us, you will not only get the opportunity to experience a unique landscape but you will also be helping our neighboring communities flourish.

We hope you enjoy our exotic location and keep in mind the importance we place on minimal interference upon our natural surroundings. We feel that any minor inconveniences you might encounter during your stay are far outweighed by the experience of Tikal National Park's natural beauty.
