Thank you for viewing my original photography. © Xueling Zou -
Tikal in its heyday ca 700 AD, was the capital of a vast Mayan empire. The Tikal National Park, in the Peten region in Northern Guatemala, comprises and area of 222 square miles or 576 square km. The park contains some of the most fascinating archaeological remains of the ancient Maya Civilization. Tikal is the largest excavated site in the American continent. Many mounds covered by a thick layer of jungle for over one thousand years have been left untouched as found by archaeologists. Restoration has continued since 1956.

F & V ! This is amazing, Xueling! Even though almost anything related to the Mayan culture, Guatemala, Chile, Old Mexico, etc. tends to make me yearn, this photograph goes well beyond that. However you managed to get this most prefect vantage point, it was worth it! Fabulous!
