Top 10 attractions in El Remate
Templo IV, Tikal
Templo IV, Tikal is a pyramid temple within the ancient Mayan city of Tikal. Built around 741 AD, it is located in the dense forest approx. 300 m west of Temple 3. Because the wooden lintel of the temple at the top is carved with a double-headed serpent, it is also known as the "Temple of the Double-Headed Serpent." It was commissioned by the Tikal ruler Yik'in Chan K'awiil to showcase his achievements. Archaeologists speculate that his tomb may be hidden beneath the pyramid, though it has yet to be discovered. The temple stands approx. 70 m tall, making it a rare, towering structure in Tikal and the entire Mayan world. Visitors can climb to the top via the wooden stairs on the back of the temple. From the platform at the top, the spires of Temple 1, Temple 2, and Temple 3 emerge from the vast forest, offering a classic view of the ancient city. The jungle scenes of the Rebel base on the planet Yavin in the movie "Star Wars" were filmed here.Tikal · 26.4km from El Remate

Antigua Central Park
Antigua Central Park is the heart of this ancient city, not only rich in history but also full of the warmth of daily life and the charm of local culture. Strolling into the park, visitors are surrounded by shade. These towering trees provide shelter for visitors and make the space feel quiet and elegant. The Siren Fountain (Fuente de las Sirenas) in the center of the park is intricately carved, and the sound of the fountain, combined with the surrounding stones and flower beds, offers an auditory and visual treat. The square is surrounded by many elegant buildings: the stone walls of San Jose Cathedral, the solemn exterior of the Palace of the Captains General (Palacio de los Capitanes Generales), the City Hall, and street-side cafes and shops. These buildings, along with the cobblestone paths, create a tourist destination that transcends history while remaining full of the vibrancy of daily life.Guatemala · Antigua Guatemala
Arco de Santa Catalina
The Arco de Santa Catalina is a colorful historical landmark, its yellow arched walls framing the cobblestone streets of the old city. Built in the late 17th century, the arch allowed the nuns of the convent to pass between the inner courtyard and the school buildings without being seen by passersby. The arched bridge-like passageway resolved the separation between residence and function and unexpectedly became the visual landmark it is today. Above the arch, a bell tower stands quietly. Its clock face not only records the passage of time but also bears witness to the city's numerous earthquakes and reconstructions. On clear days, the peak of a volcano can be seen in the distance, reflected in the arch's curved view—making this spot a beloved postcard-worthy scene for photographers. Strolling beneath the arch, you can experience the magical blend of the tranquility of the former convent and the bustle of today's streets.Guatemala · Antigua Guatemala

What travellers say about El Remate
乖小咪27 October 2019
5.0
Temple No. 4 in the Tikal Mayan Civilization Ruins is the highest and best-preserved building in the entire ruins. The temple stands on a four-story pyramid, is rectangular, and is about 200 square meters. It is high above and has a very wide view. It must have been the place where important sacrificial ceremonies were held in the past, and it had an important theocratic status.

Semuc champey is similar to Jiuzhaigou, but the difference is that you can experience the water and explore a nearby cave. It is very interesting and I recommend it to everyone.
