Tikal National Park, Guatemala
If history and culture is your thing, head out to Tikal National Park. This ancient Mayan citadel surrounded by the rainforests of northern Guatemala is deserving of its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For the record, Tika contains the tallest pre-Columbian structure in the Americas.
