Mayan Apocalypse

VALLADOLID, MEXICO — On the eve of what will be known as the apocalypse that wasn't, every hotel room in the town of Valladolid — known as Zaci during the Maya empire — is filled and no one seems to be panicking. Only 25 miles from Chichen Itza, the visitors here are resolute in the face of doom, passing the time by inspecting colorful Christmas decorations and watching a traditional Maya dance performance set to synth music.

When I ask the several groups of tourists loitering around the town's central square whether they've come for the apocalypse, most tell me that they've visited Chichen Itza already in order to avoid the festival due to take place on Friday.

The festival, Synthesis 2012, promises to welcome in a new era with the help of a harmonic cycle neatly timed to the end of the 13th b'ak'tun, a Maya era that comes to a close on December 21.

“The world isn't going to end,” an attendee at the bus terminal informs me. “This is more of a change in consciousness.”
