I am a descendant of the Maya and I work as a certified guide on archaeological excursions since the port opened in 2001. I think it is important that visitors understand that the Maya did not disappear and I want them to experience the traditions that still live among the Maya today. Between the port of Costa Maya and the archaeological site of Chacchoben, there are Mayan communities and you can see with your own eyes how the Maya live today, discover what their main source of economy is and have the opportunity to interact with them hand to hand. Learn about the ancient Maya, such as their religion (which includes human sacrifices), their calendar, system and much more. I want you to learn about the Maya, not only as something that has happened, but something that is still alive.
