Living Maya Experience: Cook, Eat & Make Art with a Traditional Maya Family
Step into the living traditions of the ancient Maya with this immersive cultural experience in a traditional village setting. Guided by a local Maya family, you’ll take part in ancestral cooking practices, learn about time-honored agricultural techniques, and observe or help create handmade crafts rooted in centuries-old customs.
From grinding corn on a stone metate to cooking over an open fire, every part of the experience invites you to connect with Maya culture in an authentic and respectful way. After the hands-on activities, enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal prepared using the same traditional methods you’ve just learned.
This is a rare opportunity to engage directly with Belize’s Indigenous heritage and leave with a deeper appreciation for the people, flavors, and craftsmanship that define Maya life today.
