Description
Due to its huge extension of tropical vegetation, the Maya Biosphere was created in El Petén in 1990 in an effort to conserve the largest and most important area of tropical forest remaining north of the Amazon which is home to a wide variety of exotic creatures such as jaguars and other wild cats, tapirs, monkeys,
crocodiles, and over 500 species of birds.
Hidden within the vast rainforest, innumerable Maya archaeological sites remain - some already discovered, partially excavated and restored, and who knows how many others still lie in wait! Among the most famous of these sites is Tikal - a double UNESCO World Heritage Site (culture & nature), where impressive structures tower over 60m (200ft) high, and well above the treetops).
