March 15 - 22, 2026: The Entrada
Join us in March 2026 for an unforgettable trip into the deep layers of ancient Maya history and archaeology. Our week-long journey in northern Guatemala will take us to several places associated with the so-called “Entrada” in 378 AD, the greatest event of early Maya history, and the dramatic encounter between the lowland Maya elites and warriors from far-away Teotihuacan. Our visit will focus on majestic Tikal and Uaxactun, and the remote and seldom visited sites of Rio Azul and Naachtun. Focusing on the latest research, our tours, lectures and workshops will explore the wonders of Maya archaeology and history, and how to read and analyze Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions, We will learn details about the key events and actors of the time, and how our understanding of the Maya has changed over the years.
