Brief Description
"In the heart of the jungle, surrounded by lush vegetation, lies one of the major sites of Mayan civilization, inhabited from the 6th century B.C. to the 10th century A.D. The ceremonial centre contains superb temples and palaces, and public squares accessed by means of ramps. Remains of dwellings are scattered throughout the surrounding countryside."
蒂卡尔国家公园
"在丛林心脏地带的繁茂植被环绕下，坐落着玛雅文明的主要遗址之一。自公元前6世纪到公元10世纪，这里一直有人居住。作为一个举行仪式的场所，这里不但有华丽而庄严的庙宇和宫殿，也有公共的广场，可沿坡道进入。周围的乡村内还零散保留着一些民居的遗迹。"
