How will I receive my tickets after purchase?

Once the payment is completed, you will receive a confirmation email with a PDF file attached.
This document constitutes the official delivery of your tickets.

Is the attached PDF really my ticket?

Yes.
The attached PDF file is the only valid document for entry to Tikal National Park.

It is not a receipt or a reference: it is the official ticket.

What type of document is the ticket?

The ticket is issued as an official electronic document – Form 63A2, in PDF format, in accordance with the procedures established by the Ministry of Culture and Sports and the Office of the Comptroller General of Accounts of the Nation

Are numbered tickets or QR codes used?

No.
Numbered tickets or QR codes are not used.

Entry is validated by reviewing the PDF document (Form 63A2) presented by the visitor.

What do I need to present upon arrival at Tikal?

Upon entering the park, you must present:

  • The PDF ticket (Form 63A2), either printed or on your mobile device
  • A valid personal identification document

Staff will verify the document and provide the corresponding access wristbands.

Can I present my ticket on my phone?

Yes.
You may present your ticket on your mobile phone, as long as the document is clearly legible.
You may also bring a printed copy, if preferred.

Can I forward my ticket to another person?

The ticket is associated with the visitor’s nationality and must correspond to the type of entry purchased.
Forwarding the file does not modify the terms and conditions of use.

Do tickets depend on the visitor’s nationality?

Yes.
Tickets must correspond to the visitor’s nationality (national or foreign).

Foreign visitors presenting tickets that do not match their nationality will not be admitted.

What happens if I purchase the wrong ticket for my nationality?

If the ticket does not correspond to the visitor’s nationality, entry to the park will not be allowed.

We do not issue refunds for tickets purchased incorrectly.
It is the user’s responsibility to select the correct type of ticket at the time of purchase.

Can I use the same ticket on another date?

Yes, as long as it is within the validity period.

Tickets are valid for up to 30 days after the purchase date, regardless of the date shown on the document.
If the ticket is used within those 30 days, it is valid.

Does the ticket include access to the sunrise or sunset tour?

Not necessarily.

To participate in the sunrise or sunset tour, it is mandatory to have:

  • The specific tour ticket
  • The general park entrance ticket
  • An authorized tour guide

The tour guide service is mandatory and is not provided by this platform.
Visitors must hire the guide on their own, either at the park entrance or through an authorized tour operator.

Can I take the sunrise or sunset tour without a park entrance ticket?

No.
The sunrise or sunset tour does not replace the general park entrance ticket.
You must have both tickets and the corresponding authorized guide.

Can I change my sunrise tour ticket to a sunset tour or vice versa?

Yes, but in that case, you must contact support to request the change. Without authorization, you will not be allowed to use the ticket for a different time.

What happens after my ticket is validated?

Once the ticket is validated at the entrance:

  • Staff will provide the access wristbands
  • The ticket is considered used

A validated ticket cannot be used on another date.
Tickets are valid only for the day they are presented and validated.

What should I do if I cannot find the email with my tickets?

We recommend that you:

  1. Check your email inbox
  2. Review your spam or junk mail folder
  3. Log in to My Account → Orders to download the ticket

If you still cannot find it, the email address entered during the purchase is likely incorrect.
In that case, please contact support via WhatsApp:

Customer service hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Outside of these hours, responses may not be immediate.

What if I deleted the email and did not create an account?

If you do not have an account on the site and lost the email containing your ticket, you must contact the support team directly for assistance.

No.

Can I enter the park without the PDF if I have my bank receipt?

No.
Without the corresponding PDF document, entry to the park will not be allowed.

Before retrying:

  1. Check your bank account statement

Some cards are not enabled by default.
In many cases, using a different card allows the transaction to be successfully processed.
