Tikal

Some of the best ruins we have ever visited. We spent three full days here and just scratched the surface.

(Sorry about how dark these are - we took them with a disposible camera. Clicking on them to enlarge makes it somewhat better. And we can guarantee that Tikal looks better in person.)

Eileen trying to get down off the "Top of the World". It's incredible how high these temples are and how narrow & steep the steps are.





The main plaza.







Temples just tower over the jungle! It is impossible to comprehend how the Mayans managed to build these.
