This
itinerary is the dream of many specialized guides in the Mayan
zone. You will travel to the most significant places of Mayan
interest in three countries: archaeological zones, some well
known, others not; outstanding ecological reserves, the last
remaining wildlife sanctuaries; important colonial towns and
cities, living examples of the history; the beautiful beaches
of the Caribbean sea, which served as a vital commercial route
for the Mayans.
The
ideas for this itinerary where discussed in 1997 but the difficulties
of communication by land delayed its creation. The amazing
archaeological zone of Copan in Honduras was originally included
but hurricane Mitch in 1998 meant that it had to be temporarily
excluded from the package. Now, thanks to the collaboration
of the governments of Guatemala, Belize and Mexico, a highway
has allowed this dream tour to become reality.
This
itinerary is designed for all who are interested in ancientand contemporary Mayan culture, for all who want to delve into this marvelous magical world. We, the guides who will take you there, can highly recommend it.
