Tikal - the city of voices

Tikal is the largest of the ancient ruined cities of the Maya civilization.
Now part of Guatemala's Tikal National Park, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist spot.
The closest large towns are Flores and Santa Elena, about 30 kilometers away.

The ruins lay on lowland rainforest.
Conspicuous trees at the Tikal park include gigantic ceiba (Ceiba pentandra) the sacred tree of the Maya; tropical cedar (Cedrela odorata), and mahogany (Swietenia).

The name "Tikal" means "Place of Voices" or "Place of Tongues" in Maya, which may be an ancient name for the city.
