Travel with Olivier Bernier Text Size A A A

Ten spots are being held for Indagare members by Academic Arrangements Abroad. The journey will begin in Mérida, the capital of the Yucatan, with excursions to the national anthropology museum and Chichnen Itzà. Then the group of eighty or so travelers will board Le Levant, a small French ship, to explore various Mayan sites, including Campeche, Uxmal and Tulum. Departs: Decembr 26, 2007 to January 4, 2008. Rates from $6,990.
