Mayan Home.
A view of the cooking area in a typical
Mayan house. This is considered very
basic to Western standards, with just a
small fire set in the corner of the room,
and a wire grill set upon two large rocks
to act as a "barbecue" style cooker.
Water would be collected from a
"natural well" or cenote located in the
vicinity of their home.

About Us
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Community Maya is an organisation to help sustain the Mayan Culture, and help
provide assistance for many Mayan Communities located especially within the Yucatan
Peninsula, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, including the Riviera Maya, and as far as Chiapas.
It provides an insight into how Maya & Mayan communities are adapting to the
changes surrounding their heritage and lifestyle, and give a better understanding of the
importance of sustaining family spirit to this wonderful nation of people.
With Sustainable Tourism we aim to educate the many visitors to Mexico and Central
America of the importance of maintaining the Mayan Heritage throughout all the
Regions. Plus, help to assist in the Development & Redevelopment of Communities lost
through lack of resources, or destroyed from natural disasters.
Many communities are frequently damaged or destroyed from local floods, landslides,
tropical storms, hurricanes, and loss of life sometimes goes unnoticed, especially in
more rural areas. Plus, crops and natural resource are hugely effected, and have a huge
impact on the local economy of the Maya.
With the help of all our visitors to this website, we are having a huge impact on
providing a better standard of living to Mayan Communities without changing any of
the cultural aspects associated with Maya and village life.
Your donations are helping to provide materials and provisions to communities effected
by disasters, and aid communities cut off completely from their neighbours. However,
this is only a small percentage of the help we can offer!
You can visit one of the many Heritage Sites within Mexico & Central America, and
enjoy the knowledge that you helped to sustain the History & Culture of the Mayas.
Sustainable tourism programs like Coba Mayan Village are helping to keep the local
economy thriving in areas around the Riviera Maya, and also providing valuable insight
into Mayan culture!
