This journey traces the main archaeological and cultural attractions of Central America. The Mayan culture is immediately apparent near Mexico City where we view the huge Sun and Moon pyramids at Teotihuacan. We travel on to Oaxaca to discover the cultural ancestry of the Zapotec people and spend time in the rarefied climes of San Cristobal de la Casas and the magnificent Sumidero Canyon. Before entering Guatemala we visit the stunning ruins at Palenque with its dramatic Mayan step pyramid architecture. We travel on to Flores and to the ruins at Tikal where forest trails lead to a plethora of stone ruins that rise above the thick jungle canopy. Continuing to the World Heritage listed UNESCO city of Antigua, we also visit Lake Atitlan - one of the world’s most beautiful lakes – and the rich and colourful Indian markets of Chichicastenango.
