Guatemala Adventure 2002
March 28 to April 5, 2002
Easter Week in Antigua is considered the most important celebration of the Passion of Christ in the hemisphere. Each day that week, bearers, known as cucuruchos, carry a different procession on their shoulders over now famous carpets made of rose petals and dyed sawdust which the residents have prepared the day before.
Tikal is one of the most important Mayan ruins, reflecting the cultural evolution of Mayan society from hunter- gathering to farming, with an elaborate religious, artistic and scientific culture. At its height from 700 AD to 800 AD the city supported a population of 90,000 Mayan Indians. There are over 3,000 separate buildings dating from the period 600 BC to 900 AD, including temples, residences, religious monuments decorated with hieroglyphic inscriptions and tombs.
