Tikal

One of our final great adventures was to venture to the ancient Myan ruins. We caught a shuttle at three in the morning so that we could arrive in the jungle to watch the sunrise over the city. The jungle waking up is a magical thing to witness, as the mist burns away under the sunrises golden fires the howler monkeys call out as the roosters of the jungle to awaken all the other creatures! On our three-hour tour through the city we got to see these animals as well as climb the ancient temples!

this is one of the howler monkeys
