Start your day in the nearby village of San Antonio, where a local cultural heritage group shares the ancient and modern traditions of the Yucatec Maya. Try your hand at making handmade corn tortillas, traditional clay pottery, and local corn porridge. From there, head to the twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena—the bustling heart of Western Belize—where the vibrant open-air market showcases fresh, locally grown produce. End the day on a sweet note at the Ajaw Chocolate Center, where you’ll experience the traditional Kechi Maya method of making chocolate from cacao, bean to bar.
