Visit the temple ruins of Tikal to journey back in time

Religious places like temples have been tourist attractions for ages. The fabulous architecture that they display is simply breathtaking to see. Tikal located in the northern Guatemala is one such city where the temple architecture is the main tourist attraction. Temples are categorized here from I to IV for the ease of identification. The ever-creeping vegetation and wildlife that surrounds Tikal creates a unique ambiance for the visitors. The temples here are the last remains of the Mayan civilization . Popularly known as Tikal ruins, this part of the world is like a tourist magnet. The downside of this trip is that the visitor will have to spend a night in the very humid Tikal National Park along with the mosquitoes that dwell in the area.
The pyramids, the Colosseum as well as the Great Tikal Plaza, add to the grandeur of the environment. The plaza is about the size of a baseball diamond. During the Mayan days, the plaza was probably the most happening place in Tikal. This historical tourist spot was open to public back in the year 1955. Besides the pyramidal temples, there are limestone structures in the area that also attract plenty of attention.

Besides the fact that Temple I is the first in the category, the unique architecture attracts the eye of tourists to this building. The pyramid reaches about 150 feet, which I think is a pretty big structure. However, Temple IV is the tallest with a height of 200 feet or so. If you are visiting this ancient tourist spot, the closest town to the area is El Remate. La Casa de Don David would be a great place to stay. The hotel will make all the necessary travel arrangements for you. Just make sure you buy plenty of water for your Tikal trip. Vegetarian food is easily available in the area. So, if you are still wondering where to go for your next vacation, think Tikal.
