The Maya are deeply religious, and worship various gods related to nature, including the gods of the sun, the moon, rain and corn. The powerful empire may have faded into history, but the Maya have survived. Today, thousands of people in countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize speak one of the many Mayan languages. In Belize we have three different Maya Cultures, the Ketchi, Mopan and Yucatec Maya. The modern Maya people have preserved their religion, customs, and traditions of their great civilization. Immerse yourself in this vibrant culture, and learn about the Mayas’ religious beliefs, their foods, clothing, and more. On this tour, we will visit the popular Maya Temple of Xunantunich, we will visit AJAW where you will learn to make chocolate from scratch. We will break for lunch, and conclude our tour by visiting the San Ignacio Market.
NOTE: If Xunantunich is inaccessible due to flooding, we will visit the Maya Temple of Cahal Pech instead.
