Tikal (Guatemala) - April 6 & 7
Tikal - another one of the major Maya sites, this one in north-eastern Guatemala in the middle of the jungle!
The pyramids here are really big...
...and I climbed all of these pyramids, some of them twice, once during the day, some again for sunset and others again for sunrise!
Easier said then done because it was over 35 C and really humid!
Up to 150'000 people used to live here in high time of the mayan culture.
And what you see these days is only about 15% of all known ruines, it takes a long time to escavate and renovate them and it also costs a fortune to do all that work.
