Tikal Temple V
Templo V
A steep temple about 57 meters tall. After restoration, its complete stepped façade is visible, and it looms imposingly over the rainforest.
Temple V was built around 700 CE and stands about 57 meters tall, making it Tikal's second-tallest building. It was restored in the 2000s by a joint Spanish-Guatemalan project, and its stepped façade is complete and dramatic. In the past, visitors could climb to the top by wooden ladder, but whether climbing is permitted depends on conditions at the site. It lies south of the Central Acropolis, about a 10-minute walk from the Great Plaza, and can easily be combined with Mundo Perdido.
