Adventure Life has unveiled a “Celebrate the Maya 2012” holiday based around December 21, 2012, when the Maya calendar will complete its 5,125th year, marking the calendar's finality and the dawn of a new era. Travelers on this one-time tour will camp near the oldest complete Maya astronomical complex, watch the sun align with ancient temples, and explore the rich Maya heritage on a date that historians, anthropologists, and spiritual leaders have debated for centuries.

“Studies have been released stating that many the Mayan prophecies have been misinterpreted,” said Adventure Life Operations Director Jonathan Brunger. “This tour is really about studying and exploring Mayan culture in some of Guatemala’s most beautiful and sacred areas, while celebrating a day shrouded in mystery.”
Highlights of this 12-day tour include: Exploring Antigua by mountain bike; visiting the famous market of Chichicastenango, Copan Ruinas, and the village of Santiago Atitlan; boating across Lake Atitlan to the village of San Juan La Lagun; canoeing & horseback riding to a cloud forest; working with small coffee farmers in their daily coffee processing; hiking to remote waterfalls, local hot springs, or surrounding coffee plantations; visiting Tikal's towering pyramids; and camping at the site of Uaxactun, the oldest complete Maya astronomical complex on earth.
“One of this Maya holiday’s most under-emphasized features is the wildlife viewing,” said Brunger. “Howler and spider monkeys, white lipped peccary, brocket deer, coati-mundis, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, ocelots and the seldom seen jaguar are all prevalent in this part of Guatemala.”
