“The Lost City of Tikal wasn’t exactly like the movies – it was even better. The looming ruins left the feeling of amazement running through my veins. Ancient cultures have always interested me, and actually being there and seeing them was so breathtaking. The entire time I couldn’t help but imagine living back when the buildings were new.
Climbing up the ruins was tiring. We got up at 4am and the heat was as if we were moving through liquid. Even so, seeing the canopy of trees from above the ruins reminded me that years ago people were atop these pyramids as well. In the end, it was all worth it.”
