Adventures within Tikal

Hello Everyone!

Guess what? It’s the last day we have to wake up at 5am this trip! It’s also Malaria Monday so make sure to take your Cloroquine!

Today we made the trek to Tikal National Park in Guatemala. Tikal is in an expansive jungle setting featuring Mayan temples & ceremonial ruins dating to 900 BCE.

We spent our day hiking around Tikal and scrambling up the ancient Mayan ruins. All of the stairs we climbed were worth the views we had above the Guatemalan canopy!

    Look mama! No hands!

    We are finally getting settled into the resort we are staying at in David’s….. except for our friendly neighbors who we are spending our time with.

    Tomorrow we are going horseback riding and then going to Flores to experience the native culture.

    It’s been a great time, and we are looking forward to what is yet to come!
