TIKAL TEMPLE 2 and TIKAL TEMPLE 3 seen from the Temple Portal Atop TIKAL TEMPLE 1, Tikal Mayan Ruins, Guatemala. 1988 Tikal Photo by Peter Wendelken.

Neotropical Pete has added a photo to the pool:

TIKAL TEMPLE 2 (left foreground) and TIKAL TEMPLE 4 (background) and TIKAL TEMPLE 35 of the Tikal North Acropolis as viewed from inside the Temple Portal atop TIKAL TEMPLE 1 in the Tikal Mayan Ruins in the Departamento de Petn in northern Guatemala on a overcast day in January 1988.

Tikal Temple 4 is the tallest temple-pyramid in Tikal National Park towering 230 feet from the temple plaza to the top of the roof comb. By comparison, Tikal Temple 1 is 154 feet tall and Tikal Temple 2 is 125 feet tall. Tikal Temple 4 is also the tallest temple-pyramid in the pre-Columbian monument in the New World at the present time, although several structures may have been taller in earlier times.

Tikal Temple 2 is also known as Templo de las Mascaras or Temple of the Masks.

Tikal Temple 1 is also known as Templo del Gran Jaguar or Temple of the Great Jaguar.

An unbroken expanse of lowland tropical forest extends off to the horizon.
