Have you visited Guatemala, Tikal temple?

Question

Memories of Tikal.

It is hard to explain to others your private feelings of being in such a place, I had been all over the wholeTikal for most of the day, looking at the main centre and climbing up to the top of all the temples, trying to put myself in this very position so long ago, it was pure history, as eventualy time got the better of me and I walked around looking to leave the area, then I found the tallest temple, I thought it was temple 5 (but I have been corrected since), it was temple 4, to get to the top you have to climb up a vertical slope, climb up a tree ladder then clamber up a thin vertical ladder about 20 metres to the top.

The thin platform must have been less than 1 1/2 metre wide.

That is where I spent the next 14 hours, enjoying life as pure as it could be, with views which would blow your mind, alone but for the local bird life and sleeping under the stars. The morning view, it still gives me a feeling of butterflies in my stomach, when I think of it. Do it

Answer 1

No I haven't but now I want to after I read your explaination sounds like it was lots and lots of fun

Answer 2

Yes, Tikal is a magical place.   I have yet to see an archeological site in Mesoamerica that has had the same effect on me as Tikal.   My next goal is to go up and down the Usumacinta and view some of the smaller sites there.  Copan and Palenque are nice too, but they don't compare to Tikal.

Answer 3

es simple, no hace falta que lo pongas en evidencia ante tanta gente
