	Tour Name: The World of the Ancient Olmecs Country: Mexico Departures:Multiple Departures - Please Enquire
	Tour Overview: With Dr. Christopher A. Pool We proudly present a very special journey to the World of the Ancient Olmecs. Much of the imagery still present in modern Maya iconography had its genesis in Olmec art. We will visit the birthplaces of that art where the colossal heads and finely carved sculptures emblematic of the Olmec style were found. We will see these famous figures on display in some of Mexico’s finest museums and in small regional museums seldom visited by tourists. This extraordinary expedition will take us into truly remote areas to explore some of the more elusive Olmec sites and to their small, regional museums. See the remote sites of La Venta, San Lorenzo, Potrero Nuevo, Loma Del Zapote, and Tres Zapotes where our study leader works and where the first of the Olmec colossal heads was found in 1862. Climb the spectacular cleft volcanic mountain to see the beautifully inscribed boulders at remote Chalcatzingo. And explore Teopantecuanitlan, a major Olmec center first discovered in 1985 that has pushed the Olmec chronology back to 1500BC. The tour will also include visits to museums housing major collections of Mesoamerican art and artifacts. Visit three extraordinary museums renowned for Olmec art – the vast open-air museum of Parque-Museo La Venta, the Jalapa Museum, not only filled with exquisite works of art but one of the loveliest edifices in Mexico, and the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
