Mostly Maya; An Exploration of Travel Among the Maya
|
Mostly Maya is dedicated to understanding the culture and archaeology of the Maya. In it I also work on showing ways to help make budget travel in the Maya areas in Mesoamerica simpler, better and less harmful to the environment. I look for links and other information that will be relevant to planning an inexpensive trip via the Internet, though this is best done using the additional advice of a good guide book, such as Lonely Planet or Rough Guide. I also look for better ways to get to some of the more difficult locations by actually going to them and trying to see what works best and it especially pleases me when I am ahead of the guidebooks, but sometimes that seems too easy . The site is a hobby and it takes no ads; it is my excuse to my wife for traveling in Maya areas annually. I note mostly local sources, with a preference for inexpensive hotels, local tours and other local services that look especially useful to low budget travelers. I cannot be everywhere, so I do welcome outside information.
I find it better to deal directly with locally owned agencies and businesses where possible, because they are more likely to keep both income and profits within the local economies. I also plug places or services I like while traveling in Maya areas. You will also find pages or info that I add for commercial and non-commercial places that seem worthwhile, but which have no website.

I make no implied claims for any business listed anywhere in this website. I try to list local and less expensive places, but that is not always possible or feasible, such as with so many good Spanish Schools. Many businesses are listed here, because they are on the Internet, are mostly local and can facilitate travel. Use normal caution when dealing with any of them. If you run across one that is listed that gave you a bad deal, please let me know by e-mail at: web_ahau (at) mostlymaya.com.
