jungle of Mexico and Guatemala, connecting
many of the legendary ancient Mayan cities.
Join us as we explore the sites of Tikal,
El Ceibal, Aguateca, Altar de los Sacrificios,
Bonampak and Yaxchilan. The colorful histories
of this mythic region come to life with the
assistance of a Mayanist who accompanies the

Lacandon rain forest of Mexico make this an
exceptional tropical vacation interweaving
highlights of Mayan archeology, local culture,
and bioregional ecology into a rich tapestry
you'll treasure for a lifetime.

River
of Ruins Trip Tesimonials:
"This tour/expedition/adventure
kept us in a constant state of awe,
in part due to the efforts of our tireless
guides. Their vast knowledge of the
history of the Maya, and their never-faltering
willingness to share it with us made
the history of the region come alive.
I know that all of us felt privileged
to have enjoyed this time in the company
of such instructive and patient travel
companions as Ceiba's Rachel and Joe."
- J.& D. Richter
2/08 River of Ruins
"We cannot say enough
great things about our recent River
of Ruins trip with Ceiba Adventures.
It combined an ambitious itinerary,
amazing historical and natural places,
and some of the best guides I have ever
traveled with. At every step of our
journey doors were opened for us, boatman
and drivers were there, and our days
trek went without delays. Everyday I
was amazed by the knowledge that our
head guide Joe Orr possessed of the
Mayan Cities we visited. Besides that
he seemed to know of every plant and
tree in the jungle and every bird that
flew above us. At night his star talks
and knowledge of astronomy was impressive.
We had considered making this trip on
our own. If we had we could not have
covered half the places in twice the
time, and none of the local guides had
one quarter the information of the Mayan
cities Joe had. This will not be the
last time we travel with Ceiba. "
