Tikau, best ruins in central america

This is temple I, the temple where a couple of tourists fall to their deaths walking up the hundreds of steep stairs a couple of years back


Some more ruins tucked away in between the jungle


Archeologists were undergoing restoration on this temple when we were there


View from temple IV. It was a perfect day and we could see miles and miles of thick jungle


View of one of the temples which we walked up, the stairs were so steep and dangerous I dont know how it was open to the public

We made it to flores yesterday a small town on an island where we caught a 5am shuttle to tikau to check out the best ruins in central america. We treked through the jungles and saw spider monkeys, howler monkeys and even tocans in the trees. Ruins were everywhere, some towering above the jungle canopy to give a view for miles and miles. We heard stories of the sacrifing pyramids where they used to throw people down the temple stairs and stories of tourists falling to theor dealth down the steep scary to climb temples.

We will put some pics up when we can as words dont show how cool it was. Heading to belize tomorrow to the islands
