Maya
Immersion Journey |
Participants in the Mayan Immersion
Journey spend a minimum of 3 days and 2 nights in Maya Centre Village, the Cockscomb Basin
Wildlife Sanctuary and the Mayflower Archeological Reserve.
All activities are led by a native Mayan guide
from the Village and participants are assigned a host family from the Village. Host
families allow participants to learn firsthand about both traditional and modern Mayan
cultures -- and hopefully make some new Maya friends.
The Maya Immersion Journey's basic itinerary is as
follows (basic itinerary may be customized for groups of 4 or more -- times are
approximate and may vary depending on weather and other local conditions during a trip):
