Tikal, Guatemala
No one who climbs Tikal—Guatemala’s impossibly steep-pitched Temple of the Jaguar, in the ancient Maya heartland—will ever forget it. At dusk, when the tour buses leave and the ruins grow quiet, the jungle animals take over: monkeys, macaws, parrots, iguanas, the raccoon-like coatimundi.
