Tikal

After our six day jungle trek we weren't certain we needed to visit Tikal, but we were so glad we did.

We took the afternoon tour and spent a great time exploring some of the most excavated and beautifully preserved Mayan ruins we'd seen. Our guide was great and the pyramids were spectacular. There was even a spot where the Mayans had worked out the acoustics so that the temples produced an amazing sound if you stood in the centre of the plaza.

We watched another magical sunset over the temples and properly rounded off our Mayan ruin experience.
