Tikal, Guatemala
During one of our days in San Ignacio, we took a full-day trip over to Guatemala to see Tikal. We went back and forth about whether to do this trip on our own or through a guide, but decided on the later. Saving border problems, safety issues and transportation risk we shelled out some extra dough for a history-filled day in the Tikal National Reserve.
- Pacz Tours transported us over the border to meet up with our tour guide for the day: Juice
- The park is massive…it took about 4 hours to get through just the main trek.
- We learned about the architectural style, the significance of the number 9 and the sound acoustics built into the different plazas
- Stairs, stairs, stairs
- Perfect weather: blue sky with puffy white clouds and an occasional cool breeze, especially on the top of each Temple
