_TX***rr:“We stayed at the Jungle Lodge inside the Tikal National Park. Howler monkeys howl at night and and sunrise. We climbed temples at dawn to watch the sunset. They have a fascinating array of bird life. Hire a guide to show you the magnificent Mayan Ruins. Tikal had been on my bucket list for years and it did not disappoint. To get there, you fly to Flores. Call the Jungle Lodge ahead of time and they will send minibus to take you to the ruins. It's about an hour's drive.”

乖小咪:“Temple No. 4 in the Tikal Mayan Civilization Ruins is the highest and best-preserved building in the entire ruins. The temple stands on a four-story pyramid, is rectangular, and is about 200 square meters. It is high above and has a very wide view. It must have been the place where important sacrificial ceremonies were held in the past, and it had an important theocratic status.”
