Welcome back, everyone. In this video we wander aimlessly around Tikal Guatemala!!
Come along for the ride!
This is the visitor center and they've got a model set up of all the different areas and it is
much more expansive than I guessed it was going to be.
Howler monkeys, they like to defecate on the heads of the people below to
show their presence and scream loudly. Something to look forward to! Quite the feature!
I heard a monkey! Is that a monkey you think? yeah!
What do you think it is? That sounded cow-like to me.
A bank vault, I assume...
So contrary to what you might think, that's not a hungry stomach
but a _flock_ (?) of howler monkies up in the trees there... Yeah, we can go with that... Ha
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 a little bit more wild than I was expecting.
I thought it'd be more touristy, but 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 meters
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...
That was the tallest temple here in Tikal, 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 grand...
Let's wander around and see what there is to learn...
That one has handrails and stairs at the back! So we can go up there! [Kara] Oh yeah let's do it!
Temple 2 also known as the Temple of the masks! "check" [Kara] built for his wife,
how nice...
[Kara] Ah, there we are
Stair day...
Butt day...
[Kara] These stairs are really tiny...
[Jason] That just means there's that many more of them.
[Kara] This is the view right here...
You want ants...?
This is how you get ants!!! [Jason] A leafcutter I'm guessing...
Wow it's a whole trail of them all the way up this root and then all the way up the tree...
[Kara] Oh that's cute!!!
"Great Pyramid" - "Gran Piramide"
32 meters... four sides... staircase on all four sides... very inefficient.
300 BC
Amazing!
The stairs are almost a ladder...
Okay! get ready... Ready for my rocky moment!
[Rocky Music from training scene]
Almost... Almost...
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.
It's not glitzed up too badly, so, it's nice to see it sort of in its natural state...
Let's do a little swing here... you can kind of see these ruins popping out of the canopy...
[Kara] A special thanks to all of our members. thank you so much, you guys
Their names are scrolling by here... thank you, thank you!!
[Jason] Thanks so much for watching, see you next time.
[Kara] Bye!!!
