Reply to comment by st3ll4r-wind in 2,000-year-old Mayan civilization discovered in the north of Guatemala by HRJafael

I was in Guatemala just last month, up north visiting Tikal and was completely unable to converse with our cab driver as he was speaking a mix of Spanish and Mayan. A member of our group spoke Spanish, but she could only understand bits and pieces of what was being said.

I’m from El Salvador and tikal is amazing. There are many Guatemalans that identify as Mayan descendants

I visited Tikal just before Star Wars came out. For me it was mind blowing. There is a pyramid you could whisper on top and hear it clearly on the bottom. There was also modern graffiti in the temples. I am not sure if you are still allowed to climb the pyramids but if you are it is a must see
