Day 5Tikal, Guatemala: After breakfast at Chaa Creek, the ancients await next as we travel back in time to the massive ruins of Tikal, Guatemala, once populated by more than 10,000 Mayans. Stroll among magnificently carved palaces, legendary shrines and temples built more than 2,000 years ago. Mayan myths and mysteries will unfold before your eyes through more than 100,000 tools, ornaments and personal objects discovered at this site. Though the Mayans have gone, keep an eye out for the spider monkeys, rare birds and other endangered animals who still make the Tikal Forest their home. After exploring this amazing city on your own, well return to Chaa Creek for a relaxing dinner.TOMB of the JADE JAGUAR, TIKAL, GUATEMALA an informative slide lecture on Maya art, architecture, and archaeology
