Hi, This photo was taken in Tikal National Park, Guatemala. These ancient Mayan ruins are in the heart of the jungle, about an hours walk. Once you are there it is truly breathtaking to see the superb temples and palaces which was once a major site of Mayan civilization and possibly date back to the 1st century A.D. There are many temples to explore including the giant, ceremonial Lost World (Mund o Perdido) Pyramid and the Temple of the Grand Jaguar. At 70 meters, Temple IV is the tallest pre-Columbian structure in the Americas.
