From Tikal to Sayaxche

As we drive in Guatemala, the roads are really stunning. Hills with lots of ponds here and there and cows, goats, pigs and chickens everywhere. Sometimes you find a bridge over a river, sometimes a barge, sometimes the initial bridge did fall apart and an alternative one was improvised next to it (just the pavement to get there is missing). The Mayan ruins of Tikal were really impressive and a lot bigger than expected. Some of them towering over the jungle canopy. It's a huge complex of temples and palaces build in lines matching the star orientation.Les mer
