Take in the Silence whenever you can! outside of Flores, Guatemala near the ancient ruins of Tikal #lifeatexpedia #green
Tikal was absolutely incredible. get there early and do the sunrise tour. You'll get to watch the sunrise from the top of the tallest Myan pyramid yet discovered. You get to watch as the jungle just comes alive. The birds wake up, and then the monkeys, and then the other animals of the rainforest. it was a beautiful experience. Do it sometime in the months of December - February so that you will be more likely to actually see the sunrise in a clear sky as opposed to shrouded by early morning fog.

Tikal is the remains of an ancient Mayan city in the rainforest of Guatemala. It's one of the largest archaeological sites of the Mayan civilization, and it's a fascinating experience to walk amongst the ruins. #tikal #guatemala

9/10 Wonderful! (636 reviews)
Nice accommodations and well appointed. However, the rooms had windows with double screens (which helped protect against insects) but no glass to close them. This time of year can be quite chilly so room was a bit uncomfortable during the night and morning with only a think blanket. I’m sure most ...

8/10 Very Good! (222 reviews)
Room was clean and comfortable, but on the small side. Hooks in the bathroom to hang clothes and towels would be helpful. Also, the hinges on the bathroom door could use oiling (loud creaks in the middle of the night). The hotel restaurant is excellent!

This is my most epic self-portrait, so far: Contemplating the Milky Way, standing all alone on top of El Henequén—one of the many ancient mayan temples you'll find along the way to El Mirador—surrounded by monkeys, fireflies and an ocean of trees. No wonder why our ancestors looked up into the sky and thought of mighty gods.
