The

is small but unique in it's own way.
Many of the students who toured this thatch roof Mayan building, thoroughly enjoyed the tour and demonstrations. Every thing on display is Mayan. We advise every student group on study tour going to Belize, that this is a must stop! You must visit this traditional Mayan house in Maya Center Village in the Stann Creek District, on the Cockscomb Jaguar Reserve access road. 
It's Traditional, Educational, informative and exciting. You really have to see it!
To visit us, Contact the Curator and owner, Julio Saqui of Maya Center Village, at the foot hills of Maya Mountains, home of the world's only Jaguar Reserve at Email:julio_saqui@hotmail.com or visit their website at www.cockscombmayatours.com. This is a great introduction of the living Mayas of Belize, to any body, tour group or student group that wants to see real Mayan Culture.
Maya Center Maya Museum is a true Mayan treasure! This thatched Mayan house, that houses the museum,  represents the typical way Indigenous Mayas of Belize build their houses and their way of living. Every thing in the Museum is what one would see when entering a true Mayan house in any of the Mayan Villages of Belize.
