Tikal



Loading Image...

Tikal is the most famous of the Guatemalan Maya remain sites. It was one of the longest inhabitated areas with buildings being built on top of existing buildings throughout its history. There are five main temples, all of which are over twelve stories high. Temple I is 145 feet tall.
