The Hacienda San Lucas [2] in western Honduras is a unique resort, with views of the Copan archaeological site and frequent host to yoga retreats and other packages. For December 21, 2012 solstice celebrations, the Hacienda is one of the properties working with JB Journeys to offer "The Great Return: Copan 2012, Winter Solstice in Honduras," [3] a 7-night tour (15–22 December, $2,895 per person double occupancy. There is alson a 4-night option for $2204).
Your fellow guests will include "some of the world’s leading Maya archeologists, scholars, epigraphers, and archeoastronomers, who will present the latest breakthroughs in how the ancient Maya thought about 2012." The trip is being put together by Shannon Kring Buset, Director of the film 2012: THE BEGINNING [4].
If you don't get one of the last rooms, this is breaking news from the trip organizers: "NEW option for campers! Hacienda San Lucas is providing pup-tents for guests. Camp under the stars near Los Sapos. There will be electricity, shower, and porta-potty, along with 24-hour security. BYO sleeping gear." (Contact JB Journeys [3] for prices.)
Opportunities like this are all over the Mundo Maya and they are surprisingly not all sold out. What are YOUR plans for the solstice?
