Tikal
See all Tikal Photos
Once home to 100,000 Maya, Tikal was one of the most important cities in the Maya empire. It was abandoned when the empire collapsed and not re-discovered until relatively recently. Today it is one of the most important Maya sites, boasting over 4,000 structures, the oldest of which date back to around 800 B.C. The most important structures are the imposing Temple of the Giant Jaguar, which stands over 170 feet tall and was once the tomb of a high priest. Across the immense square from this structure is the Temple of Masks, which is an impressive 139 feet tall.
