On December 21, 2012, the mysterious Maya Long Count calendar will complete a cycle of 5,125 years. Celebrations marking what some think is the beginning of a new age for mankind are planned throughout 2012 in the region known as the Mundo Maya (Maya World), which just happens to include Mexico`s Yucatán Peninsula.
This is good news for thousands of Canadians who visit the Mexican resort of Cancún and the Riviera Maya every winter. Not only will Canadian snowbirds be able to enjoy the area's pristine white sand beaches, but they shall also have the option of going on themed 2012 tours and attending other special events. Next year will also be an opportune time to explore some of the Yucatán Peninsula's important Maya archaeological sites such as Chichén Itzá, Cobá, and Uxmal.
To help travelers plan their 2012 itineraries, Avalon Travel has just released a useful new guide entitled MOON MAYA 2012: A Guide to Celebrations in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize & Honduras. Please visit my Latin American Traveler blog to read a complete review of this innovative guidebook.
