Jungle City — 2 years ago
Tikal is in the middle of a nature reserve, in the jungle. The walk to the site is amazing in itself, surrounded by the forest and the chattering of spider monkeys. Then, suddenly, between the trees, appears a pyramid. The sight is awe inspiring. Some of the buildings have been restaured, others still lie covered by the forest. One thing not to miss is to climb to the top of Temple IV. From there, you are above the canopy of the forest and can see a sea of green all around you, with the top of the other 4 temples reaching out. Under those trees, lies a whole forgotten city, one of the architectural masterpieces of an ancient civilization.
