Tikal in Guatemala is a breathtaking complex of ruins, deep in the lush rainforests of northern Guatemala. Once a thriving Mayan city called Yax Mutal, it covers over 16 square kilometers, with more than 3,000 structures including palaces, temples, and residential buildings. Tikal Temple IV is a Mesoamerican pyramid that was one of the tallest and most voluminous buildings in the Maya world, while the Temple of the Jaguar Priest is believed to be the funerary home of King Dark Sun. Tikal's urban planning is remarkable, with a network of causeways, plazas, and residential areas carefully designed to integrate with the natural landscape. Despite only 15% of the site having been excavated, it is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or nature. Don't miss the chance to explore this fascinating piece of ancient history!
