Aurora Saqui has bestowed the healing wisdom of her late Uncle Don Eligio Panti, a famous and world-renowned Maya Traditional Healer, also known as an h’men or herbal doctor. After ... more8 years of apprenticeship, he selected Aurora to assume his role upon his passing. She now operates her herbal clinic and provides health care to the residents of Maya Centre and surrounding villages. Aurora has recently authored a book, Ix Hmen U Tzaco Ah Maya: Maya Herbal Medicine, and is committed to preserving this important Mayan heritage for future generations. You can arrange for a consultation with Aurora at her clinic if you are experiencing health problems or want to support your wellbeing.

Ernesto Saqui is an avid conservationist and former director of the Jaguar Reserve for 15 years. As an expert naturalist, Ernesto often leads guests on nature or birding walks. He has also been a Maya leader for 26 years in his community of Maya Centre. A former teacher, Ernesto continues to educate about Maya Cultural traditions and founded the non-profit organization, Juuntulico’on, which means One People in Maya. His vision for Juuntilico’on has been to sustain cultural knowledge and traditions for future generations. Ernesto conducts Maya Ceremonies for different occasions, including Maya weddings, and spiritual cleansing for those seeking renewal in their life. Come, meet and share cultural experiences with this extraordinary Maya leader.

Ernesto and Aurora, both of Maya descent, have created a mosaic of fascinating learning experiences for their visitors. This includes traditional cultural activities such as Maya herbal medicine, spiritual cleansing and learning how to cook Maya dishes.

Delicious corn tortillas and hot chocolate!

I got the chance to make my own corn tortillas! From grinding the corn to cooking it on the comal - it was a fun and delicious experience! Mrs. Aurora was amazing!
