This character from the Mayan culture receives you at his home with his family, he tells you about the origins if his art, and his Mayan lineage; you will visit his atelier, where he makes by hand all his artworks like masks, codex replicas, situations like the Mayan ball game, and Mayan gods replicas.
It outstands that his artworks are reliefs, made by hand with basic tools, many times his wife makes paint with natural materials the family makes on their own. After a pleasant talk and visiting the product exhibition, you can visit his two Mayan huts, where he lives, which eventually are for accommodation rental; these houses were built with materials from the region like wood, stone and huano palm, especially for the guests to learn about Mayan architecture.
