A South American tour group is turning Jonestown into a travel destination, over four decades after it was the scene of the most notorious mass suicide and murder in modern history.
The first group of tourists is already scheduled to visit the site, located in the rural interior of Guyana, in January, according to the tour operator.
For a price tag of $650, they'll have an overnight experience that is intended to provide a deeper understanding of the tragedy.
It was the site of the 1978 Jonestown Massacre, in which more than 900 people, including hundreds of children, died after Jones ordered them to drink cyanide mixed with a fruit-flavored beverage.
