The last trip we made during our time in Guatemala was to Petén, the largest and northernmost department in Guatemala that borders Mexico and Belize.  Our original trip was supposed to be in early July, but that ended up being delayed until just days before our departure due to a tropical storm.  We knew we were taking a chance by booking a trip during rainy season, but we weren’t about to leave Guatemala without seeing the famous Mayan ruins of Tikal.
