| Tikal Temple II |
The card shows Tikal, Temple II
A name which makes dream the travelers in search of exploration and nature...
Two syllables that make all archaeologists and specialists of the Mayan world fantasize...
Five letters which raise many mysteries still unsolved...
And for good reason. Tikal, the Mayan city, is sumptuous, imposing. Some 3,000 structures emerge from the tropical forest in a mystical atmosphere. The temple of the great jaguar faces the temple of the masks on the big square, the neuralgic center of the city. The highest pyramids of the site overhang the jungle at 70 meters of the ground.
The site is so vast that one often has the impression of being alone, taking oneself for a moment for Indiana Jones when he discovers a secret temple in the bend of a path. One wonders how the Maya could have developed such a big city in a so thick jungle.
Since 1979, Tikal is one of the rare sites to be registered with the cultural inheritance as well as the natural inheritance of UNESCO.

Niagara Falls was formed starting more than 12,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age when large torrents of water were released from the melting ice, draining into the Niagara River. The water plunged over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment – to what is now known as Lewiston, NY. Eventually, the force of the water wore away the rock layers and Niagara Falls moved upstream, reaching its present location. Year after year, the formation continues with the annual freezing and thawing of the Niagara River, along with gradual erosion and periodic rock-falls. Remedial work has been completed to preserve the Falls and the volume of water has been reduced by diversion for hydroelectric power..
