Another pyramid looms up on us through the jungle. You can self-explore Tikal if you wish, but it seems like it would be a challenging task. With our guide he’d cut through a jungle path and then we’d just emerge at the next site, but with paths everywhere and the jungle quite thick it would be easy to get lost on your own

A troop of white-nosed coatis descended upon us. Not nearly as aggressive as their cousins that I saw in Brazil a couple years ago, they were still very curious about us with little fear.

It’s called a roadside hawk, but this one was just perched along a hiking path.
