Tikal might
well be the most interesting pre-Columbian site architecturally. You can stroll
the well-excavated site and be amazed at every turn. If you come early and
leave the central acropolis for the late afternoon, it is possible to dodge the
crowds and have many areas for yourself. Just go to the central bus station in
Flores, take the local minivan (you’ll sit with the workers and it’s cheaper)
and you have the freedom to return whenever you want. Should you want a guide,
you can easily arrange someone on-site, so there’s absolutely no need to
prearrange although everybody will tell you to do so.
My
highlight was climbing Templo V which will have you fight vertigo but rewards
you with spectacular views and meditative solitude.
