Tikal/Flores - Feb. 22 - 25

Once we left the Rio Dulce, we headed up to Flores to go to Tikal, the major Mayan ruins in Central America. They were impressive, to say the least, and only 20% of them have been uncovered, and it took us 4 hours to see 75% of that...


This is the tallest temple in Tikal and also where they filmed part of Star Wars (dont know which one... the third one maybe... it's been a while). We climbed to the top, which was a fair ways above the trees and you could see the rest of the temples that poked above the trees and forest as far as the eye can see










Some of the group on the top of the temple - Jana, Meghan, Jen, Ryan, Amanda, Sabrina, Adam, Dan, Jessica and Carolina



Another Temple.. this one we could actually climb the front of (the rest had newly built stairs up the side for saftely and to preserve the original stairs).... It was pretty high to climb up (and back down - but I made it without dying!)
