Tikal translates to 'the city of sounds.' the echoes are unbelievable! i spent the night here in central americas largest mayan ruin location with over 4000 monuments/ruins. breathtaking.... the scope of the ruins here! tucked in a rainforest covering over 500 square kilometers. huge! howling monkeys screaming everywhere, playing in the trees. giant beetles and spiders. toucans and parrots, wild turkeys, these anteater looking raccoon like things *cant remember name and much more.
ive enjoyed it......
entering the rain forest
apacolypto....decapitating temple. which was never used for anything like that... the locals say. hollywood.woke up at 4:30 and climbed one of the towers hoping to see the sunrise over some temples. the clouds had a different plan
it was still cool though, silent and mystical with only the loud roars of the howling monkeys.
looking down....
looking out...
as far as the eye can see over the rainforest
