Belize to Guatemala Border Crossing (POV) 🇧🇿🇬🇹 | Exploring the Ancient City of Tikal, March 2026

Cross the Belize–Guatemala border and explore Tikal National Park on this immersive POV walking tour through one of the greatest Maya cities ever built. Day 23 of my Central America journey takes me from the laid-back town of San Ignacio, Belize, across the land border into Guatemala in search of the legendary ruins of Tikal National Park. Join me as we experience the border crossing on foot before stepping into a vast rainforest where towering Maya temples rise above the jungle canopy. Together we'll walk through ancient plazas, climb Temple II, admire the Great Jaguar Temple, and take in the unforgettable views from Temple IV—the iconic viewpoint made famous around the world. Along the way, I'll share the fascinating history behind these incredible monuments, the kings and queens who built them, and why Tikal remains one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Central America. If you enjoy slow travel, history, archaeology, culture and immersive first-person walking tours, I hope you'll enjoy coming along. If this video inspires your own travels, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget to like, subscribe and join me as the journey across Central America continues.
