Tikal Tours Video - Towering pyramids poke above the jungles canopy to catch the sun. Howler monkeys swing noisily through the branches of ancient trees as parrots and toucans dart to a cacophony of squawks. When the complex warbling of some mysterious jungle bird tapers off, the buzz of tree frogs fills the background and it will dawn on you that this is indeed hallowed ground. Certainly the most striking feature of Tikal is its steep-sided temples, rising to heights of more than 44m. But what distinguishes Tikal is its setting, deep in the jungle. Its many plazas have been cleared of trees and vines, its temples uncovered and partially restored, but as you walk from one building to another you pass beneath the dense canopy of rainforest amidst the rich, loamy aromas of earth and vegetation. Much of the delight of touring the site comes from strolling the broad causeways, originally built of packed limestone to accommodate traffic between temple complexes. By stepping softly youre more likely to spot spider monkeys, agoutis, foxes, ocellated turkeys and so on. Wonderful Tikal Tours Video...
