Andean Paths.

The Maya culture was one of the most brilliant expressions of human creativity and societal development of its time. Guatemala is the land where the Mayans grew as a culture, and expanded into the Yucatan Peninsula, Salvador, Honduras and Belize. Their astronomical and mathematical knowledge created several calendars and connections between the universe and human life. In addition, the ancestral wisdom developed their skills in agriculture, stone carving, pottery and architecture, still studied and viewed as masterful.  Finally, the sites of their ancient cities with their cosmogonic view of life are the most impressive places to visit in Central America.

We start our journey in Antigua, a treasure from the colonial time, then we travel to Petén, in the Guatemalan jungle. We will stay inside the Tikal National Park, and explore one of the largest, most powerful, and important Mayan cities.  We will have Julio Tot as our expert guide.  He is also trained as a Shaman in the Mayan tradition, and his master, Tata Domingo, an elder of the Mayan of Alta Verapaz will also be with us.  Julio is the son of one of the archeologist, who was an assistant in the first excavations of Tikal.
