The Temples of Tikal's Great Plaza and Temple 3 rise up out of the jungle canopy, seen from the lofty steps of Temple 4; La Templo de la Serpiente Bicefalica. The lost city of Tikal is a massive complex of Mayan ruins from the 8th Century AD that is only partially uncovered in the northern jungle of Guatemala.
