Description

Central America's Mayan heartland: majestic ruins, tropical jungles, traditional Indian communities and picture-perfect beaches

The Mayans forged a powerful and mysterious empire across southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize and we visit several of their magnificent jungle-cloaked temples, cities and pyramids on this fascinating trip. Their legacy is also apparent in the customs, language and dress of the Indian towns and villages we pass through on the way. As well as exploring the Maya world, we discover lively colonial towns, active volcanoes, palm-fringed Caribbean beaches, the flora and fauna of Belize's cloud forests and the stunning Lake Atitlan.
