Palenque Mapping Project
The data gathered during the project has to date resulted in the creation of what has been described as the most accurate and detailed map of maya ruins ever made.

This tour's path will lead into rain forests of Chiapas, where some of the most beautiful ancient Maya cities reside. Palenque, perhaps the most sophisticated of all ancient Maya kingdoms, will be the headliner of the week, but other ancient cities, remote Maya communities, and local museums will also be part of the adventure.
