Tikal is regarded as the most beautiful Mayan site: the incredible abundance of pyramids and stones shows that this city was the most important of the Mayan world in the 8th century. The ruins, mostly still covered ibìn vegetation, are located in an area which is 576 sqkm large and those which have been already brought back to light can be seen while strolling across pyramids up to 70 m high, built 200 years before our era.
