Photography Tour in Tikal

The best photos of Tikal aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

The greatest Maya city, where immense pyramid temples rise above the jungle canopy and howler monkeys echo through ruins that once housed 90,000 people.

•Temple IV — the tallest structure at 70 meters, offering views over the jungle canopy to other temple tops
