Mostly Maya

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 finding 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 Rough Guide or Lonely Planet. I also look for better ways to get to some of the more difficult locations by actually going to them and seeing what works best. If you know good directions for getting to especially any of the more obscure Maya ruin sites, please e-mail the info.

Bonampák murals being cleaned; new figures found

Dios bo'otik to the late John Montgomery for his very kind permission to use his drawings on this website. See an excellent book by him.

The site is a hobby and it takes no ads; I won't even answer such a request. I do not trade links. If you want to list mine and yours is a respectable website that is relevant to the Maya, go ahead. I will look at yours to see if it is relevant, but I will not trade.

Looking for non-trashy hotels in Maya areas

The Maya World has enough empty plastic bottles trashing up its lands. Do you know of any affordable and comfortable hotels in Maya areas that provides bulk drinking water, either with free rifills or for a reasonable charge? Get it listed here, along with what level of service it provides.

It does not matter if the hotel has a website, but if if does not, be sure to include its address, phone number and e-mail address, if any. Additional useful information would be the prices for services that you encountered. Be sure to mention of the hotel has Wifi.

This website 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 useful to low budget travelers. I can't be everywhere, so I 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 that I like while traveling in Maya areas. You will also find pages or info that I add for commercial and non-commercial places that are worthwhile, but which have no website.
