Tikal was the crowning achievement for Hannable! We literally conquered a near impossible task of planning, monetary maintenance, and corresponding synchronicities, all coinciding to offer us an adventure of a lifetime! We began our journey from the depths of Mexico at the site, Palenque, in Chiapas. We weren't sure if we would have the resources necessary to continue down into Guatemala, but we made a decision and stuck to it unwaveringly.

Also, Noble spiced things up a bit by climbing the walls and structures of the few accessible areas ... read more
