Impressions of Flores and Tikal

This is how dark it was on top of the fourth pyramid in Tikal when we arrived there a bit after 5 am.

Photos don’t do this nature show justice.

Sunrise and the view of the rainforest and another two pyramids in Tikal.

The fourth pyramid, where we waited for the sunrise that morning.

An ancient city of Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centres of the pre-Columbian Maya civilisation.

Only 20% of the ruins are excavated, the rest is still buried under the jungle.

A journalist turned media analyst turned storyteller. Already had a near death experience white-water rafting the source of the Nile, came three meters close to a green mamba and peed in front of a boat of thirty strangers in the middle of a rain forest. Stay tuned for new stories from my trip in Latin America!
