Throughout 2012, every country in the Maya world will host events and ceremonies at most of the ancient sites. The majority of 2012 activities will be celebrations of Maya culture, both ancient and modern. Most tours are anchored with visits to relevant archaeological sites, to Maya villages, consults with astrologers, and lectures from archaeologists and epigraphers.
Another way to acknowledge 2012 is to help out in a rural Maya community, either by donating to a foundation that helps the modern Maya, or by participating in a homestay or simple tourism program.
A handful of community-based tourism opportunities exist throughout the region, some quite primitive and authentic. Your support of these programs in 2012 and beyond helps allow modern Maya to diversify their income.
Attend lectures on the Maya calendar and the possibility of a new cycle, then visit Lamanai, Xunantunich, Caracol, and Cahal Pech, before spending the night under the stars at Tikal (just across the border in Guatemala).
