Tikal National Park is located in northern Guatemala (South of Mexico) and was the location of "Yavin 4" at the end of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Shortly after the release (and success) of the first Star Wars blockbuster, the National Park was named a world heritage site and is now considered one of the most renowned examples of Mayan culture.

Although the location is only in the film briefly, the fact it is an unusual holiday destination to choose increases its attractiveness to fans.

What else to do there: The climate is comfortably warm and humid. Guatemala has some of the world's most amazing rainforests and lakes and even an active volcano that collectively make this fancation a real adventure.
