This is a pic of Flores... which is A little island in the middle of the lake.
A view of Lake Peten from our hotel on Flores... Hotel Casona de la Isla.
The is picture is taken from Temple IV, over looking Tikal. You can see the outlines of some of the ruins. Temple IV is the largest of all of the known ruins in Tikal.
This is one of the first photos that turned out during our "Sunrise Tour" - the best part of which wasnt necessarily the sun... the the awakening of all the birds and howler monkeys - sounds NEVER to be forgotten!
Here is another photo of the previous ruins, but once the sun has come up.
These holes were used as cold storage.
A small termites nest... many are 3-4 times larger than this one.
A line of different sized ants - who seem to know the difference between "equality" and "equity" better than most people! The big ones take heavy loads, the medium ants - medium loads, etc...
Leaf cutter ant armies all over the place!
Monkey fruit... apparently not people fruit.
Marks on a chicle tree - where resin has been collected for gum/rubber production.
Birds nests hanging from trees - LOVE these!
CANOPY TOUR IN PETEN!
TARZAN style vine swinging!
