welcome back everyone
in this video we wander aimlessly around
takal guatemala
come along for the ride
[Music]
this is the visitor center and they've
got
a model set up of all the the different
areas and it is
much more expansive than i guessed it
was going to be
color monkeys they like to defecate
on the heads of the people below to show
their presence and scream
scream loudly something to look forward
to
quite the feature
[Music]
i heard a monkey is that a monkey you
think yeah
what do you think it is oh that sounded
cow-like to me
thank vault i assume
[Applause]
so contrary to what you might think
that's not a hungry stomach
but a flock of all over okay's up in the
trees there
we can go with that
i don't want to get pooped on
okay
i'll take my chances with the bats now
they're actually birds
so i have to admit that this is um a
little bit more wild than i was
expecting
i thought it'd be more touristy we're
just walking around in the jungle we
haven't seen anyone in
an hour keep on going
they also told us to watch out for
jaguars
but not exactly sure what we're supposed
to do
i guess just watch for them
temple 5 50 beaters
all right that's a big one
oh yeah oh wow
hold on i have to get back
oh oh back further
one jason for scale
so
[Music]
that was the tallest temple here in
chicago
and now we're heading towards the grand
plaza
i thought i knew that guy maybe he's a
famous youtuber
all right we have arrived at the grand
plaza
and as you can see it is definitely
[Music]
grand
let's wander around and see what there
is to learn
[Music]
that one has handrails and stairs at the
back
sweet yeah we can go up there oh yeah
let's do it
temple 2 also known as temple of the
masks
check built for his wife
how nice ah there we are
bye yes stair day
but day
these stairs are really tiny
that just means there's that many more
of them
this is the view right here
[Music]
you want ants
this is how you get ants a leaf cutter
i'm guessing
wow it's a whole trail of them all the
way up this route
and then all the way up the tree
[Music]
oh that's cute
great pyramid grand
parameter
32 meters four sides
staircase on all four sides very
inefficient
300 bc
amazing yeah
the stairs are almost a ladder
okay get ready you're ready for my rocky
moment
[Music]
[Applause]
almost almost
[Applause]
[Music]
all right guys that was our time at
tikal there is a lot more here than i
thought
quite a few more runes and
a lot of it is a lot more natural than i
expected
not very glitched up too badly
so nice to see it sort of in its natural
state
it's a little swing here you kind of see
these
ruins popping out of the canopy
