EL MIRADOR
SAKBE OF THE maya
Dr. Richard Hansen, has created the project
Mirador Basin National Park, whose objective is to form, with
the help of the Guatemalan government and concerned citizens,
a National Park, where archaeological excavation will be carried
out and tourist can share in the wonderful discoveries of
the great Maya civilization. This park will incorporate the
locals and provide education so another means of living can
replace the looting and deforestation of the area.
We can do trips to this area all year round,
however, during the months of March through May, Maya Expeditions
is providing tours to the three cities of the Mirador Basin:
El Mirador, Nakbé and Wakná, where we will be
guests at the Mirador Basin a project led by Dr. Hansen. With
over 27 universities represented and 140 Archaeologists and
workers each season excavations will bring them closer to
establishing their goal.
The race to discover the tombs and sculptures
before the looters continues. The creation of the Mirador
Basin National Park is not yet set in stone, however, with
your participation and support, you can help make it become
a reality.
