Temple of the Great Jaguar, or Tikal Temple I. Built around 732CE this is one of the largest temples in Tikal, which itself is one of the largest cities and archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Mesoamerica. Re-discovered by the West in 1848 and now another UNESCO world heritage site, even today approaching the temples through the jungle adds a wonderful sense of mystery and curiosity. Sitting on top of the temples looking out over the jungle equally adds to the fascination.
