December 6-14, 2024 Itinerary
The Kanul Kingdom
Our trip takes us to the Kanul Kingdom, including Calakmul, Balamku, El Palmar, Dzibanche and more. This trip is unique, allowing participants to visit certain archaeological sites that are rarely visited by members of the public and connect them to the Ancient Maya World. We will be learning and discussing the history of this area and how it connects the past to the present.
