Temple of the Jaguar. In the great plaza temple II(Jaguar) faces the sun for the morning. Behind you temple IV and in front temple I. Temple I may make you feel like you have been there before if you have seen StarWars. The Great Plaza and the Central Axropolis have buildings which still display color.
I read it on the internet so it must be true.

No problem. The company is called Canopy Tour Tikal... www.canopytikal.com If you really have some time and want to see something "off the beaten path", try to get your guide to make arrangements for you to take a separate trip to see Yaxha, another Mayan site (where Survivor was taped last year). My guide made arrangements with one of his friends to take me... I got a great deal, only $80US (it's over $150, I think). I ended up with my own private tour and my guide was a local, someone who had worked on the show, so I got lots of background about that as well as the site itself. It was really a one of a kind experience.

To do a sunrise tour of Tikal and a canopy tour in the same day would be no problem, unless you stay in the park for a few more hours after the tour itself ends. Our tour ended at about 8:30 so I had time to grab some breakfast and a quick shower before it was time to go to the canopy tour. It's very close by, though... only takes a few mins drive to get there. I did the 7 stop tour, I think, and it took about an hour. Then, after that, I squeezed in a tour of the other Mayan site, Yaxha, before finally ending up in Flores around 4pm that afternoon.
