Travel with us through the contrasting cultural landscapes of Mesoamerica where civilisations have ebbed and flowed over the millennia. On this epic archaeological journey we search for answers to many of the still unexplained mysteries of the Maya Kingdom. Our adventure will take us across 3 countries, through dense rainforest, cruise along serpentine rivers and traverse the arid Yucatan. As well as exploring the better-known city-states, we will also discover smaller, unexcavated settlements that were, until recently, lost in the lush tropical jungle. We follow the meteoric rise of the Maya culture, its subsequent collapse and finally on to their regeneration as the Maya Toltec.
