ITINERARY
Day
1: Saturday, October 31, Guatemala City
Our
flights take us to Guatemala City, the city of Eternal Spring. Upon
arrival we will transfer and check into our deluxe hotel. (No meals included)
Day
2: Sunday, November 1, Guatemala City
After
attending church with the local saints, we will see the two LDS temples in
Guatemala City. Aftereards, we will visit the National Museum of Archaeology of
Guatemala, an archaeological museum which displays many artifacts from the
city of Kaminaljuyu and other locations. We will then visit the large
outdoor relief map of Guatemala in order to orient ourselves with the
geographical overview of the country in relation to the Book of Mormon. We will
conclude our day by enjoying a delicious Argentine steak dinner. (Breakfast,
Dinner)
Day
3: Monday, November 2, Lake Atitlan
This
morning we explore the archaeological zone of Kaminaljuyu, the area
considered by many to have been where Nephi settled in the 6th
century BC (see 2 Nephi 5:5-10). We will discuss Kaminaljuyu’s altar 10,
an altar that dates to 147 BC and may suggest a transfer of kingship from King
Noah to Limhi (see Mosiah 18 & 19). We will then travel to the village of Panajachel
and check into our hotel that is nestled on the shore of Lake Atitlan. (Breakfast,
Dinner)
Day
4: Tuesday, November 3, Lake Atitlan
Flanked
by three dramatic volcanoes, Lake Atitlan has been a scenic retreat for
over 2000 years. It has been proposed by many LDS scholars as a site for the Waters
of Mormon where Alma organized the church of Christ in the first century BC
(see Mosiah chapters 18 and 19). The day will consist of a cruise on the lake
to see the area where an ancient city was covered by water. This city may have
been Jerusalem mentioned in Alma 21:1 or it may have been one of the other
cities mentioned in 3 Nephi 9:7. The afternoon will be free for shopping or
relaxing or other available activities. A presentation on the historical
literature of the Book of Mormon will be presented by your tour director in
the evening. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day
5: Wednesday, November 4, Lake Atitlan
An
early departure will take us along Alma’s trail as he left the waters of
Mormon to the land of Helam. We will visit the village of Almolonga,
renowned for its pure water and lush vegetable gardens, a place that may have
been occupied by Alma and his followers for about 25 years (Mosiah chapters 23
& 24). Almolonga is called the “Vegetable Basket of the Americas,”
because its growing season is year-round, unlike most of Mesoamerica, which has
rainy (growing) and dry seasons. We will return to Lake Atitlan for the
evening. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day
6: Thurs, November 5, Guatemala City
Today
we will bus to Antigua, the old Spanish capital of Guatemala. Several
buildings date to the 16th and 17th centuries. We will spend time visiting the
downtown plaza, Catholic church, and other places of interest. We will visit
the jade factory to learn about the importance of jade to the Maya
people as well as how it is found and turned into beautiful jewelry.
Afterwards, we will continue on to Guatemala City for the night. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day
7: Friday, November 6, Guatemala City
This
morning, we will catch a flight to the Peten jungle region of Guatemala. We will
visit the awe-inspiring, Maya archaeological zone of Tikal, occupied
from 600 BC to AD 750. This dense rain forest is considered by many to be the East
Wilderness where the Nephites, under the direction of the military leader Moroni,
built many fortified cities during the 1st century BC (see Alma 50:7-15).
New evidence shows a strong relationship between Teotihuacan and Tikal at the
close of the Book of Mormon history which resulted in the downfall of the
Nephite nation. We will fly back to Guatemala City for the evening. (Breakfast,
Lunch)
Day
8: Saturday, November 7, Flights Home
Transferring
to the Guatemala City airport, we will check in for our flights home. Our
journey to the Book of Mormon lands has come to an end, but we will take with
us memories that will last a lifetime. (Breakfast)
