Summary:
The climb up the slippery ancient stonework still partially covered in vegetation is tiring. On the way up even in the dim pre dawn light your senses are bombarded. The thick smell of the plant life competes with the noises from the jungle around you. The sharp cries of the Toucans seem to carry on a conversation with screeches of the howler monkeys. Above them all is the throaty growl of a jaguar, or maybe its just your imagination.

Details or Sample:
Tikal located in northern Guatemala was the pre-eminent Mayan city-state. It is believed that the first inhabitants of the region arrived around 500 B.C. The present city state probably began around 200 B.C and within two hundred years was a major city with a population that would eventually grow to an estimated at between 50,000 and 100, 000

Over the next nine centuries Tikal became the largest and most powerful of the Mayan cities. It was the centre of the Mayan world and trade. Its influence spread south to Copan in present day Honduras, west to Altun Ha on the Caribbean coast of modern Belize, and northwards to the Mayan cities of Tulum, and Kobe in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico.
