Here’s another shot from Tikal. This is actually the first temple we saw while touring the ancient city. It was pretty impressive, and they only got bigger from here.

  1. How old are the tombstones? and did you get to climb it? (I’m guessing not..)

    • They’re actually Stele and would have been intricately carved and painted, as would the temple. We had the option to climb it… but were told there’s no real view from up there. One guy in my group went up and came back totally soaked in sweat. I decided to wait to climb the bigger temples coming up.
