Mayan history

That it is Tikal in fact?

Tikal we found it in the region of "the Peten", in Guatemala. In Tikal a forest is even conserved so and as it was before Columbus arrived at the New World. In this forest feline minors live like pumas and jaguars. The toucans and the parrots fly between the trees. And the monkeys when they are gotten excited, scream from the branches.

The vegetation is so much which we found in Tikal and its environs that call the third lung to him of the world. Not always it was thus. Long before that the three carabelas showed their prows, in Tikal an enormous city was based, in many occasions being the capital of empires. There they grew and they constructed civilizations by but of a millenium. For some reason, that he does not even know himself, a day their citizens went for not returning.

They left left all his houses and temples and left to mountains. And the forest the drink all. And this history, remained privily by many centuries until not long ago. It is very probable that Tikal has been the populated city but in the Mayan civilization. Until now, the one of high and numerous temples but between which the forest has let to us know.



The tropical forest

All the North zone of "the Peten" has detailed a natural reserves. To the south and after this region is the national park Tikal. In spite of its immense extension, the park is a fraction of the forest that covers all this area.

The reserve is not accessible to I publish in general. She is excessively dangerous for that they do not know his nature. According to they informed to us there is toxicas plants, poisonous ants, jaguars, pumas and knows God whichever but. Although the worse danger is to lose itself there inside, very possible that it does not leave.

Tikal offers a balanced affluent sample of the forest. In order to be able to present/display to the world the incredible Mayan relics that are there, footpaths have become on the inside of the weeds. These close ways do not affect the vegetation, is but, it is very probable that they disappear in just a short time if they are let walk. When visiting the park, the people who we are not educated in the mysteries of the forest, we can penetrate in her by these footpaths with the smaller possible risk.



The Lost World

The Lost World is called to him to a section of Tikal. In this area we found old pyramids but of all the region. They are not as high as the other constructions, even so, it is necessary to be average athlete to raise them and to lower them without feeling some bone.

The Lost World is in a clear one of the forest without no construction that obstructs the Vista. She is one of the areas where better the nature can be observed.



The temples



In Tikal we found the relics of one of the cities but great of the pre-Columbian cultures. They were Mayan those that constructed Tikal and in certain occasions from this metropolis they dominated all its civilization.

Tikal was populated from the century 700 A.C. to 900 D.C. The Mayan culture, between that were the inhabitants of Tikal, is classified at three basic times. These times are based on the development of the art, the architecture and in general the advance of the civilization. To the first stage it is called to him PRE-classic. Second she is the classic one that lasts from 250 D.C. to 900 D.C. It is called to him thus because it is in this when the Mayans demonstrated their but technical outposts. Later the post-classic one comes, where an acute decay of all the arts notices. The post-classic period begins when the Mayans leave their old cities, like Tikal, and they leave to the mountainous zones, where we even can find many people of this culture.

In Tikal they even remain buried most of the constructions, they are considered to him between 3000 and 4000. Efforts are being made be presenting/displaying these constructions without altering the biological system that has been developed during every year of abandonment. It is not a easy task since the city was constructed on artificial platforms of several meters of heights. These platforms the Mayans were building them to gather the water in certain zones. In the scale models of the museums, in Tikal and the city of Guatemala, the design of the city with great clarity is explained. In the field it is another thing.



Animals

Located within which today in DAY it is a tropical forest which we could call virgin, Tikal provides the ideal scope to sinfín of species. it is possible to be located 85 familiar nuclei of jaguars living in this region. The coatíes, although something picaros, is also pleasant and they do not demonstrate any danger.

In the family of the roosters and pheasants there are two species of great size. These are both turkeys, both native ones of the American continents. Many we know the other turkey, the one that we served the holidays. In Tikal is the Oscillated Turkey that the distance it is resembled his relative but close by in much but colorful.

It has of everything in Tikal, but it is in the birds where the naturalist occurs to taste. According to books of the birds, a variety near 400 different species in this region is considered. Sure all is not present all the year, nor the tourist is either going to manage to see them in late.
