The vast Mayan complex in Tikal, Guatemala, is located in the middle of an unspoiled jungle which makes it look even more mysterious. The power of nature is amazing. Even cleared alleys grow overgrown very quickly, and some pyramids are directly engulfed by tropical vegetation. The entire archaeological site is on the UNESCO list. In fact, the soaring pyramids, the Acropolis buildings, the temples and the sacrificial stones in the Grand Square make an amazing impression.
