There has long been a speculation that on December 21, 2012, the world as we know it will end. The possibilities of what this “end” might mean are an increasingly hot topic on the Internet, in conferences, printed articles, and in discussions all over the globe. This is because it just might be an incredibly important moment in history. For KAKAW & SAPPHIRE it meant an important opportunity to design an enrichment travel program exploring all sides of the history, their discoveries and their attributes helping us all to better understand such mystery and more importantly, to learn about such an amazing and advance civilization. A civilization that was perhaps the first in the world to merit the distinction of that very word. Come and discover our signature 2012 program, The Year of the Mayan Calendar

Our most valuable incentive and group travel asset over the rest of the world is our canvas upon which we build memorable experiences. Central America is full of secrets and magic. It is simply exotic. The green cufflinks between North and South America, these seven compact countries would be easy to skip on a map. Yet they represent a complex web of cultures, ancient ruins, tropical wildlife and adventure.
For starters, try climbing lava-gurgling volcanoes with perfect cones that poke above the cloud line. Rambling jungle walks lead past Mayan pyramids, through the dark canopy where pumas, sloths, howler monkeys and quetzals live. Surfing towns link the Pacific shoreline dot to dot, where waves rush gold-sand beaches. Diving is extremely affordable, and certification programs can lead even beginners before sea turtles and nurse sharks in a maze of coral reefs. Beyond the beaches, there are hidden Maya, Kuna and Miskito villages, haciendas turned language schools and the cobbled streets of beautiful Spanish-colonial towns, where vendors push squeaky carts of fresh corn or shaved ice.
