Tikal Ruins - Guatemala



Livingston, Guatemala, is on the Caribbean coast. It has a large black population called the Garifuna. Check out the three wheeled car.
From Livingston we took a river boat ride up the Rio Dulce, to the town of Rio Dulce.
We made it to the city of Flores that night. This is where most people stay when they visit Tikal.

You've got to climb these unbelievably steep stairs to get to the top of this pyramid.
This maintenance worker just uses the rope.
Nice view from that high up. It's incredible that the Maya basically built a skyscraper out of rock more than 1000 years ago.
