Description:

Delve into the fascinating culture of the ancient Maya, experiencing their language, cuisine, traditions, and beliefs. Make a Yucatecan lunch, sit in on numerology and language lessons, and explore the legendary ruins at Chichén Itzá—one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

After you're picked up from your hotel, make your way to the Mayaland Resort in the heart of the Yucatan peninsula. Enjoy breakfast before your first activity—a Maya spiritual experience, in which a h'men (priest) performs an authentic, indigenous ritual. After this mystical practice, head to the kitchen for a hands-on adventure as you prepare a typical lunch of achiote-marinated pibil chicken.

Check out the resort's swimming pools, cenote, and botanical gardens before learning some basic words and phrases in a Mayan language class. Since it's still widely spoken in Mexico and other parts of Central America, you might even get to practice during the rest of your stay. K'aam yéetel uts! (Welcome!)

Next, learn about the Mayamethods for calculating time in a numerology lesson. The mathematical skills of the Maya continue to amaze scientists worldwide. Learn more about their advanced knowledge of astronomy at the Maya Universe Digital Planetarium

Finally, embark on a guided tour of the Mayan settlement at Chichén Itzá. Admire the stunning Kululkan pyramid, the Ball Court, the Cenote Sagrado, and the ancient Observatory, learning about the significance of this intriguing site before your tour comes to a close.
