Shrouded in ancient mystery Mayan ruins throughout Central America continue to fascinate, baffle and surprise us. For example, in 2018, a vast city was discovered deep in the jungles of Guatemala suggesting that Central America supported more extensive advanced civilizations than previously known. Visualize some of these lost worlds when you follow an archaeologist on her recent expeditions to the states of Yuctatán, Quintana Roo and Campeche and “explore” some of the spectacular ruins in Chiapas. Learn about the socio-political history of the area, its geography, art and artifacts. Discuss the challenges faced by Mayan inhabitants both past and present.
