[Guatemala] The Tikal Ruins, one of the largest ancient Mayan ruins in the world

"Tikal", the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilization, lying in the jungle of Guatemala It is said to have flourished as the political and economic center of the ancient Maya from the 4th to 9th centuries AD, and is one of the largest World Heritage sites among Mayan ruins. The temples that represent Tikal are the pair of step pyramid temples called Temple 1 and Temple 2. It looks small in the photo, but Temple 1 is 47 meters high, and when you stand on the observation deck, it is quite high and your legs will shake. (By the way, you have to climb a long, long staircase to get there) *It seems that you cannot climb to the top at present due to the protection of the ruins. Tika Tikal is dotted with temple ruins deep in the jungle, Each one of them pokes out of the jungle, so if you climb to the top you can get a panoramic view of the jungle. However, there are no handrails and it is quite steep, so climb at your own risk. The ruins seen from above are truly an ancient city buried in the jungle, and they exude a romantic atmosphere. As an aside, Tikal is located in a humid jungle, so there are a lot of mosquitoes. Mosquito swarms like mosquito swarms will swarm you, so insect repellent spray is a must. Excavations are probably currently underway. If you like ruins, I recommend it. #Overseas travel record #World Heritage Site #Guatemala #Ancient ruins #Unexplored area
