"JOURNEYS is exceptional. We enjoyed everything -- the Mayan ceremonies, the volcano hiking, the textile tour, the zipline and rain forest canopy. The Mayan sites were awesome, dinner at the home of archaeologist David Sedat was special... and we especially enjoyed our travel companions. How can you improve on perfection!"
