To get there, walk around Templo I, heading toward the left side. You will find Templo II about 100 meters away, easily recognizable by its impressive structure and the view of the surrounding jungle.

• Guided Tour

  Consider joining a guided tour available at the Tikal entrance. Most tours will start with a brief introduction at the visitor center, then guide you along the main paths leading to significant sites, including Templo I and Templo II. You will walk through the lush jungle, learning about the history and significance of the temples. The guide will ensure you find Templo II after visiting Templo I, making the experience informative and enjoyable.

• Bicycle Rental

  If you prefer a quicker option, you can rent a bicycle from the visitor center at Tikal National Park. After renting your bike, head out of the center and follow the main road towards the Great Plaza. Once you reach the plaza, park your bike and walk towards Templo I. After visiting Templo I, Templo II is just a short walk away to the northwest. Make sure to lock your bike securely while you explore the temples.
