Maya Arts, Archaeology, and Day of the Dead
From the lowland jungles that housed the greatest of the ancient Maya cities to the mist-clad uplands where Maya villages and customs still thrive, this 10-night journey transports us through 3,000 years of Maya history. Our journey not only spans a great expanse of human history, it also sets us into one of Mesoamerica's most unique celebrations, Day of the Dead, when the souls of the ancestors are believed to return to visit the living. This trip is an unparalleled opportunity to travel with Director Shelby Tisdale to learn about the life of the Maya, both ancient and contemporary, to marvel at the ancient cities in the jungle and to see that the people and cultures who created those places have not disappeared, but continue to thrive in a far corner of an exotic land.
