What is the PET-3 road like between El Cruce and Tikal?
Curious what the terrain is like between El Cruce and Tikal. On the maps it looks like there is a range of low mountains or foothills just north of lake Petén Itzá, with a steep climb in elevation to El Caoba, where the land appears to flatten out a bit into rolling hills all the way to Tikal.
Would love to hear firsthand from anyone who has taken the drive. I’m trying to describe the topography in a story and want to get it right.
Looking on Google maps it appears there is an elevation gain of 224 meters from El Cruce to El Caoba, with a 405 meter gain overall to Tikal, most of it in the first few miles.
