This book is written by, and includes first hand recommendations by Craig Adkins, an historian and seasoned traveler who has actually experienced Tikal multiple times. Adkins has traveled to dozens of Maya sites, and is considered one of the leading authorities on visiting the Maya of today, and the ancient Maya civilizations of the past. About the Author Craig Adkins has visited over 70 countries, including some of the most remote regions in the world. His travels have taken him to such unique places as the magnificent Borabudur of Indonesia, the wild Jemaa el-Fnaa of Marrakesh, and Wieliczka, the intricately carved salt mines of Poland. But it is the Maya ruins of Tikal that have captured his imagination and passion. That interest led him to frequent Maya ruins, study the Maya extensively, including the history and culture, and eventually to write his book on Tikal. Adkins is a noted, and in-demand, speaker, writer, and media resource on visiting Maya archaeological sites, particularly Tikal, Copan, and Palenque.
