Be one with the mystical Maya as their secret underworld captivates your senses, wrapping you deep within their history, beliefs and culture!  Sign up today for the overnight Solstice camping opportunity hosted at Belize’s premiere Maya site, Caracol.  All participants will walk away from this experience with a thorough understanding of the Maya’s interaction and belief about nature.  It is also a commemorative event recognizing the milestone ‘celebration of the Completion of the Maya Calendar 13th Baktun and the transition into the ‘Never Ending Saga of Life’, this December 20-21.

DAY 1
In Belize the Maya culture is equally rich in history and mystique. Come and be one of only a few to journey back in time with vivid, mind-stimulating lectures, teachings and tours by renowned Archaeologist, Dr. Jaime Awe.

Rediscover yourself during the soul-stirring Fire Ceremony led by native and neighboring Maya participants as you partake of the spiritual offerings.

DAY 2
Awake on your second day at Caracol to witness the sun’s precise alignment in the direct center of the Observatory.
