San Antonio Maya Community PhotoSan Antonio Maya Community Photo

The Maya have a long, rich history in Belize, and the San Antonio community welcomes visitors who want to know more about their culture and daily life. More importantly, you’ll get to try one of the delicious staples of the modern Maya diet – a homemade tortilla. This tour also has a crafty side, where you’ll learn how to make a ceramic clay pot.

Tortillas are served alongside caldo – a rich, clear broth that serves as the base for many homemade dishes. Your experience includes a break for lunch, where you’ll get to sample a few other traditional foods alongside the piping-hot tortillas. Make sure to get a little bit of everything, and pay careful attention so you can recreate the dishes back home.

Once you’ve had your fill, the pottery class begins. The Maya are known for their ceramics, and archeologists have unearthed beautiful examples with elaborate etchings. Make your own and experience firsthand the artistry that has survived over many thousands of years of Maya culture.

Comfortable clothing, walking shoes, mosquito repellent and camera.
