An old ceiba tree greets visitors to Tikal
Tikal isn't just stone: it's a great jungle walk with chattering birds and howling monkeys above your head
Holy monument
A ceiba tree dreams of being as tall as Temple I
Temple I looms
Thatched rooves at the North Acropolis
Religious practice keeps your thighs in shape
Temple II reaches out to its brother
Mayans believed in stairways to heaven
Don't open doors? Don't read instructions? Don't read on the toilet?
Temples rise above the last millennium of jungle growth
Temples I, II, and III bask in the sun
The sun sets on the great plaza
