UPB Group Traveling to Mexico
Members of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford community will travel to Mexico next month as part of the 6th Annual Maya Archaeology Spring Break Trip, which will take place from March 8-14.
The trip will highlight Teotihuacan, the enormous city “where time began,” the Aztec Templo Mayor discovered under the Zocalo plaza of Mexico City, agave (tequila) plantations, obsidian workshops, the Xochimilco gardens by canal boat, the Cacaxtla murals, and also the Aztec Calendar Stone and other treasures of the Museo National, the world’s best anthropological museum, featured in the best-seller book “1000 Places to See Before You Die.”
The $1050 price of the trip includes hotels, two meals each day, van transportation, tours by archaeologists, and entrance fees to museums and sites. It does not include airfare to/from Mexico City, Mexico.
The trip is open to anyone with an interest in the Maya and Aztecs, in archaeology, in the ecology of the Basin of Mexico, or in an adventuresome week, including children age 12 or older, if accompanied by a responsible parent.
Anyone interested in the trip should contact Isabelle Champlin immediately at (814) 362-7623 or ichamplin@gmail.com. This trip is not sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. A detailed itinerary is available at http://www.mayaexploration.org/study_UPitt_mar09.php.
