Our search for the famous Mayan ruins of Tikal and Copan took us to El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Belize. Our group of 16 weathered rough roads, a humid climate, malarial swamplands, and a risky water supply...but the remarkable Mayan ruins and our zip-lining experience made it all seem worth it. Zip-lining begins by donning a harness and climbing to a point high enough to let gravity do its work. It’s really not done for the scenery; you’re moving too fast and are too intent on applying the brakes. But what an experience! The horseback ride to a Mayan village was memorable as was a visit to a local school and a home dining experience. But when we look back on this trip in the future, we’re sure to remember most the grandeur of the Temple of the Great Jaguar at Tikal and the excitement of zip-lining.
