Trip at a Glance
Small Groups: Never more than 10-16 travelers—guaranteed!
Travel to Central America to tour where Mayan civilization began more than 3,000 years ago ... an empire that emerged from the humid rain forests, flourished for nearly 600 years, and then vanished. In that time, the Mayans created a complex writing system, devised a calendar equivalent to our own, introduced the concept of zero in mathematics, predicted lunar and solar eclipses, and built the tallest structures in the western hemisphere—and all while Paris was just a sleepy village. Today, their ghostly remnants are scattered across five countries in an ancient, 1,500-mile-long trade ring known as La Ruta Maya. From ruins to rituals to rural villages, we’ll trace the footsteps of the enigmatic Mayan culture as only OAT can—in our trademark small groups. Along the way, we'll meet modern-day descendants preserving their Mayan heritage with jade carvings, colorful weavings, and warm hospitality. Join us as we travel back in time to explore the Route of the Maya.
