This was referred to us a Temple II (and the Queens Temple) by our guide. Unlike the Kings Temple across the plaza, this one could be access, by wooden staircase around the side. The stairs themselves adjusted angle as you neared the top resulting in an almost ladder like experience on the last flight. You might sit to come down (steepness similar to naval vessels). No one with physical disabilities should attempt this climb. A single Stele sits in front of this temple. The original stairs are unusual due to steepness and condition. An interesting feature I saw as we came around the side of the temple where very small narrow steps up the sides that might have been alternative entrances? From above you had a great view of the Acropolis, Royal Palace, the Plaza and the Kings Temple (Temple I)

This pyramid is Tikal's Taj Mahal, a temple built by a king to honor his beloved queen. At 138 feet it is the shortest of all the "numbered" pyramids yet still it is 40 feet taller than El Castillo of Chichen Itza. It's a massive looking three-tier pyramid that has been meticulously restored and can be climbed by a wooden staircase accessed behind the monument. If you're with a friend climb the pyramid and have your friend stand in the middle of the plaza and check the acoustics. You can talk to each other in a normal voice and hear each other perfectly. make sure to take look at the roof comb which is very ornate and some of the sculpture is still recognizable after 1400+ years.

Temple II (or the Temple of the Masks) was built in the Late Classic Period in a style reminiscent of the Early Classic. Temple II is located on the west side of the Great Plaza, opposite Temple I, and was built by the king Jasaw Chan K'awiil I in honor of his wife, Lady Kalajuun Une' Mo'.

One of the most special places on the planet. No trip to Central America is complete without a visit to Tikal. Climbing the steep stairs of the temple to stand above the canopy and absorb the scale of Tikal and the rainforest that I've swallowed it whole is uplifting and humbling all at once.
