In the tropical lowlands, Mayan pyramids and temples of Tikal tower over vast jungles teeming with monkeys and birds. In this temple city stand some of the tallest ancient structures in the western world. Temple pyramids rise up to 212 feet above the surrounding jungle. In the cool highlands, Mayan workers carry on the traditions of their ancestors, living in simple villages, weaving clothing in brilliant colors and patterns.
