About the film:
In the northern lowlands of Guatemala, the tropical forests of Petén, the Mayans erected the most spectactular temple city in all of Precolombian America from the 3rd to the 9th century: TIKAL. This area became a national park in the year 1955, and here many animals, which have become rare, can be seen close-up.
Insects such as the Parasitec Phorid Fly, Leaf-cutting Ants, Sessid Moth, Yellow Lemellicorn or Spider Killing Wasp - birds, such as Brown Jay, Parrots and Trogons, Woodpeckers, wild Ocellated Turkeys, Montezuma Oropendola or the Rufus-tailed Jacamar – birds of prey such as the Plumbeos Kite and Bat Falcon – reptiles such as the Two-coloured Coral Snake, Striped Snake and Banded Gecko - monkeys, like the Black-handed Spider Monkey and the Guatemalan Howler - as well as the Opossum and the Ocelot can all be seen in this national park.
