mayan magic
December 6-18, 2024
The Sun God shines all day and then transforms himself into a jaguar to pass through the underworld. Learn more about these Mayan and pre-Hispanic philosophies and belief systems, while viewing sacred sites, natural wonders, and reveling in rich Mexican traditions and vegan food on our Mayan Magic Tour of Mexico..
We’ll camp out on the site of the pyramids of Teotihuacan, before taking a hot air balloon ride at sunrise the next morning. We’ll admire floating gardens, explore the pyramids at Chichen Itza, delve into Frieda Kahlo’s life at her blue house museum, swim in pristine cenotes or volcanic sink holes, hike to the top of a sacred mountain with a hidden temple at the top, indulge in local vegan delicacies while on a rooftop overlooking the luminescent skyline, and salsa in the center square of Mexico City’s vibrant plaza. These are just some of the wonders that await you.
