Maya Field Workshops offers immersive educational travel experiences designed for curious learners who want to explore archaeology beyond the surface. Rather than traditional tourism, our workshops emphasize context, discussion, and discovery. Participants visit archaeological sites with knowledgeable instructors, historians, and local experts who share deeper insights into the history, culture, and landscape of the region. Our small group format allows for meaningful conversations, flexibility in the field, and opportunities to engage more deeply with the places we visit. The goal is not simply to see famous ruins, but to better understand the ancient civilizations that built them and the living communities connected to these landscapes today.

Our programs are open to students, lifelong learners, educators, and anyone interested in archaeology, history, and cultural heritage. No formal academic background is required—just curiosity and enthusiasm for learning in the field.

No prior experience is necessary. Our workshops are designed to be accessible to participants from a wide range of backgrounds. Site visits, lectures, and discussions are guided by knowledgeable instructors, historians, and local experts.

Workshops are intentionally kept small to allow for meaningful engagement with instructors, archaeological sites, and local communities. Smaller groups also allow greater flexibility in the field.
