If you are seriously into ruins, I would highly suggest this place.

Tikal however will not disappoint at all if you are willing to brave the jungle. An amazing view and many many very cool buildings await those that brave the 14km walk to see them all. Do however remember the following:

While we waited out the rains (Jason has already provided coverage on how), we managed to convince a tour guide to dirty up his Toyota 4-Runner imported from L.A. Why they drive 4x4 vehicles there I have no idea, but maybe why he got a good deal including the cost of gas driving it down through Mexico, at night to avoid paying exorbitant "highway taxes" from corrupt law enforcement, bandits, etc.
