The prize?

A mention of your name and a link to your site from within this post.

And the winner is….

Alain Wong of busbud.com. His initial guess was the hottest one of all–the Tree of Life in Oaxaca, Mexico. He later narrowed it down to Tikal in Guatemala. No one’s %100sure if it’s a Cypress tree, but we think it is and so (unless someone corrects us), that’s what we’re calling it. Or perhaps a “human Cypress tree” is a better name?

The answer: Human Cypress Tree–Tikal, Guatemala

This tree, which resembles a human body (or perhaps two of them), was photographed on the grounds of Tikal, Guatemala. Located in the El Petén rainforest, it is one of the major sites of Mayan civilization, inhabited from the 6th century B.C. to the 10th century A.D.

Tikal, a great trade, religious, and political center that dominated the region at times, was estimated to have had a peak population of 100,000 to 200,000 with an urban density of 600 to 700 people per square kilometer. The grounds where this photo was shot contain intact temples and palaces, as well as public squares.

What makes it especially beautiful is that it’s technically in the jungle. In the early morning, there is often a mysterious mist and the sound of howler monkeys in the distance.

Can’t get enough?

Like the bus? Try the magic carpet!

Originally a blog about travel, chickybus now also covers lifestyle. It’s still a ‘bus,’ but it now takes you on other types of ‘rides.’

Consider a ride on the ‘magic carpet’!

That = my memoir about travel off the beaten path and into the moment.

Hi, I'm Lisa...traveler, writer, teacher and chickybus driver. Off-the-beaten-path travel is an exciting way to see the world and to live in the moment—and that's what chickybus was about for many years. The blog was a bus, a vehicle that took readers/riders on various travel journeys...
