MAYA ADVENTURES

Ceiba Adventures has 29 years of experience in the Maya world and we’d love to turn you on to these amazing and spectacular Maya sites. Our Maya Adventures originally started in 1980 on the Rio Usumacinta, which is the international border between Mexico and Guatemala. Ceiba was one of the pioneers of archaeological whitewater river trips in Southern Mexico. The adventure film industry highlighted many expeditions in the region and we continue to work with archaeologists, travel agents, tour conductors and individuals from all over the world.

We have two regular itineraries that we run. The River of Ruins adventure and the La Ruta Maya tour, as well as, coordinating custom travel packages throughout the Maya areas.

All of our tours are small groups ranging from 6 to 12 people. A very experienced Mayanist always the leads our trips and we travel by van, foot, boat, mule or small plane depending on the particular itinerary. Our stomping grounds include the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Quintana Roo, and the state of Yucatan. Ceiba has a lot of years of expertise in Belize and the Peten of Guatemala as well. This diverse area is where the ancient and modern day Maya settled and is the focal point of Ceiba’s adventure trips and tours.

Ceiba can set up all kinds of tour packages to take you to the well-known or remote Maya archaeological sites. Hotels, local guides, suggestions on travel arrangements, working within time frames and taking you to out of the way restaurants and all of the must-see spots are all things we can offer you in Mexico, Belize, and Northern Guatemala.

Ceiba’s services are always friendly, helpful, to the point, honest and our resources have been accumulating now for almost 30 years. The Maya sites in Mexico that Ceiba frequents include: The Temples of Palenque, Bonampak, Yaxchilan, Altar de Sacrificios, Seibal, Aguateca, Tikal National Park, Ek Balam, Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Labna, Sayil, Kabah, Edzna, Chicanna, Calakmul, Kohunlich, Xpuhil, Chacchoben, Muyil, Tulum and Coba.

Several other highlights that are always incorporated into each trip are; rainforest ecology and how the biodiversity of the rainforests was very integral in the everyday life of the Maya. Our trip leaders, local guides and even the shuttle drivers spend time interpreting the local flora and fauna as we traverse this amazing countryside. Often people sign up primarily for the birding and the Maya archaeology as a close second reason, as birding is part of the focus of our itineraries.

With Ceiba’s longevity in the local communities another added bonus to each trip is our ability to be instantly incorporated into the Mexican families that we’ve known now for 30 years. This unique aspect of an eco-travel trip guarantees that each and every one of our participants has the ability to be totally immersed with the local people and their daily lives.

Ceiba’s experience has been well documented with our many Maya adventures and we look forward to hearing from you soon and assisting you in arranging your very own unforgettable Mayan adventure.
