Tikal Palenque Mayan Ruins

Tikal Palenque Mayan Ruins

These are photos of the Mayan ruins at Palenque, Mexico and Tikal, Guatemala, which were taken in the spring of 2008 on my travels through Central America of that year. Tikal costs the traveler more than $20 to enter, while Palenque only costs $4.50 to enter the archaeology park and another $2 to enter the nature reserve that the park is located in. If you enter Tikal after 3 PM you can also get in the next day.

Mexican Sombreros

Photos of Mexican Sombreros

The following pictures are of sombreros and hats in Mexico. Mexico is hot and the sun shines bright; when traveling there every vagabond needs a nice big sombrero (no matter how silly they may look).

Man in Chiapas readjusting his sun sombrero. These hats really do work to keep the sun off of your face and neck. The people here really do wear them for a good reason.
