Immerse yourself in the Mayan Kaqchiquel culture and support local women in Santa Cruz. Experience their daily lives, passions, and concerns while preserving their culture and boosting the local economy.
The women of the local team welcome us and we walk through Santa Cruz, from the shore to the community, to learn about the customs, lifestyle and routines of the local people.
TRADITIONAL CUISINE: Tourists and women cook together in a wood stove in a home, to learn how to cook typical recipes, such as tamale, tamales, tortillas or puliki. Afterwards we enjoy eating what we made together.
CRAFTS WORKSHOPS: Introduction to the elaboration of fabrics and/or handmade jewelry. We learn to place the initial thread for sewing, create our first piece of jewelry, and dress in traditional Santa Cruz clothing.
TEMAZCAL EXPERIENCE: We disconnect and live the local experience of the temazcal use, a low adobe house where steam baths are taken.
