Mayan Living Experience

This tour starts with a visit to the Belize Spice Farm and Botanical Gardens where you will go on a tour of the gardens learning about the variety of spices, fruit and hardwood trees. You will then visit the Mayan village of Big Falls and experience for yourself how the ancient peoples of this region lived in tune with the environment. This tour offers guests a fascinating glimpse into a fast disappearing world in which the local Kekchi Maya depended upon the jungles for everything they need. From food, building materials, furniture to medicine even musical instruments. You will experience how the Mayan lived fifty years ago before the modern world began to impinge. Come, learn, prepare your traditional Mayan meal and enjoy a cultural experience you will not soon forget. To round off your day, on the way back, you will visit the ruins of Nim Li Punit, well known for the large amount of stele found there, 26 in all. Although a smaller sight, it is truly beautiful and well laid out with many plazas and terraces. Even a ball court can be found at this site, a fitting end to your Maya living experience.
