Why not do it in a beautiful location like Hawaii?

Heritage famly travel is a growing. You grew up hearing the stories of your family’s past. Feeling curious about who you are and where you come from, you feel compelled to undertake a fascinating journey to strange regions of the world to find little piece of your past. Family heritage vacations can inspire the stories you and your relatives repeat and reminisce over for years.

Planning a Heritage Travel trip is definitely on the top of a wish list for me. I have been very lucky to be able to hear family stories. My Great Grams passed away at the age of 103. She told me stories about living on the frontier, yes, I am serious when I say that and she had this amazing garden. She was alive when Wyatt Earp was alive! That’s amazing to me. My other great grams only spoke Finnish and somehow we all knew what she was saying. My Auntie D has also spent years researching family history. Reminiscing about those experiences and the stories I have been told is priceless to me. Seeing the places in some of those stories would be epic!

For many people who do not have access to living relatives or to historical family documents, DNA testing from companies like Ancestry.com and 23andMe are making it easy to learn about your past. These companies are more accessible now and at a much cheaper rate than in the past. Advancements in DNA technology and genealogical research allow them to provide more information about your heritage than they ever could before.

Where will your roots take you?

Taking a family vacation is one thing, but planning a Heritage Family travel Vacation to learn about your past is quite another. The visit could take you places you never imagined. A step back in time. Some people are interested in the country or countries where they have roots, while others are hoping to connect with actual relatives. Whether you are basing your travels off of a DNA test or from hearing story’s of your families past, these itineraries are completely customized to you. I hope you have a chance to take an adventure like this. The memories will last a lifetime.

There are so many breath-taking points of interest when considering Central American Vacations. From snorkeling to zip-lining to cave explorations and of course, stepping into a civilization’s past when discovering the Mayan Ruins of Tikal.

Tikal 101 – A Central American Vacations fact sheet

Tikal is just two hours away from the Belizean border and remains one of the most popular attractions in Guatemala. Almost any traveler who visits the western part of Belize (San Ignacio Town) travels to Guatemala for the day to visit this majestic Maya site.

Located in the Peten Region of Guatemala, Tikal is an early classic to late classic Maya City. Here are 12 surprising things about Tikal:

1.) Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the pre-Columbian Maya Civilization.

2.) The name Tikal may be derived from ti ak’al in the Yucatec Maya language; and it is said to be a relatively modern name meaning “at the waterhole”.

3.) The Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes passed within a few kilometers of the ruins of Tikal in 1525, however, he didn’t mention them in his letters.

4.) There are traces of early agriculture in Tikal that dates as far as 1000 BC.

5.) The architecture of Tikal is built from limestone and includes the remains of temples that tower over 70 meters high, large royal palaces and a number of smaller pyramids, palaces, residences, administrative buildings, platforms and inscribed stone monuments.

6.) In 1979, Tikal was declared a UNESCO world heritage site.

7.) According to Archaeologists, Tikal was the capital of a conquest state that became one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya.

8.) Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, ca 200 to 900 AD during this time the city dominated much of the Mesoamerican region politically, economically and militarily.

9.) The Tikal National Park covers an area of 575.83 square kilometers and was created on May 26 1955 under the auspices of the Instituto de Antropologia e Historia and was the first protected area in Guatemala.

10.) The population estimates for Tikal vary from 10,000 to as high as 90,000 inhabitants with the most likely figure being at the upper end of this range.

11.) The dynastic line of Tikal, founded as early as the 1st century AD, spanned 800 years and included at least 33 rulers.

12.) The tallest structure in Tikal is 65 meters in height and is the temple of the two-headed snake that was built by King Yaxkin Caan Choc in 470 A.D. This temple is a must climb for the adventurous!
