TIKAL, Guatemala - The Temple of the Masks, or Temple 2, in the Tikal Maya ruins in northern Guatemala, now enclosed in the Tikal National Park. In the foreground is a series of stela on the Main Plaza that once held commemorative inscriptions but that have since worn away over time. Visitors can climb wooden steps at the left of the pyramid to near the top. The section at the very top of the pyramid was once decorated in giant carved masks, only parts of which are still visible, and the entire pyramid would have been painted in bright colors.
