Among the Mayan gems hidden in the jungles of Central America, the crown jewel is Tikal, a must-see archaeological site that lives up to all those Hollywood stereotypes of the Lost City. (It actually had a cameo in the first Star Wars movie.) Many active travel itineraries in Belize opt for less dramatic sites or squeeze in a rushed one-day visit. We spend two nights at Francis Ford Coppola's nearby rainforest retreat, giving you and your family plenty of time to explore Tikal properly. Get to know our Belize & Guatemala Family Multi-Adventure Tour with this short video by Backroads leader and videographer David Gallego.
