Sacbeob - Royal roads of Cobá and Chichén Itzá
DECEMBER 10-17, 2026
Join Maya Field Workshops for an immersive journey through the northern Yucatán exploring the ancient Maya road system known as the sacbeob, which once connected powerful cities across the region. With David Stuart leading the way, students will visit major archaeological sites including Chichén Itzá, Cobá, and Ek' Balam, explore cenotes, and engage with local professionals, experts, and communities. Along the way, the program connects archaeology, landscape, and living culture to reveal how these royal roads shaped the Maya world.
