  They say that the sun rises behind this and that it is spectacular   My goodness, my Guinness T-shirt!  
  Tikal is a nature park which contains the biggest Maya temples. This is temple number 1, also known as The great Jaguar.

 

   In the background, you can see temple number 4, the one built at a highest point and thus the one with best views from its top. Around me, the jungle.

 

  
  You can imagine who is under the red arrow   I did not swim in that one  
  Temple number 5. It was difficult to climb but the view was impressing.

 

   After Tikal, we moved to Atitlán, a vulcanic lake with transparent water. This is taken in Panajachel, the worst tourist-trap we visited.

 

  
  The village was ugly, but less touristy   They dress like that every day, not for the tourists  
  The same lake, seen from Santiago la Laguna, antoher village in the area.

 

   After the lake, we visited the national handicraft market, in Chichicastenango, in the region of Quiche, which hosts the largest Maya community. Here you can see some indians selling their products in front of the church.
