And because no trip to Honduras would not be complete without a visit to the jungle, we’ll start this trip along the Atlantic Coast, with a visit to a world-class eco-resort, the Lodge at Pico Bonito. Along the way, we’ll experience spectacular scenery, luxurious accommodations, world-class cuisine, and plenty of opportunity for relaxation and renewal
It is believed that if the Classic Maya kingdom of Copán were still in existence today, revelers would make the pilgrimage to it in 2012, just as they did at the change from the 8th Bak’tun to the 9th in 435 AD.
We invite you to follow in the footsteps of the ancient Maya this December, as we journey to Copán, Honduras, in celebration of the conclusion of 13 Bak’tuns (5,126 years) and of the Maya Long Count calendar.
We hope you’ll join us for The Great Return: Copán 2012, a tour 5,126 years in the making.
