RESERVATIONS

• As the experiences don’t have a set price, we suggest leaving an optional tip for the hosts for the service provided.

OVERVIEW

Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of maize, a symbol of identity and life in Mexico and the Mayan world, essential for local communities. We invite you to explore a mural that represents the Mayan cosmovision of maize, a photographic exhibit showcasing the milpa process, and an installation featuring the diverse varieties of maize from Yucatán.

This experience is part of a live gastronomic journey where you will learn to make handmade tortillas and savor delicacies inspired by maize. This project arises from our collaboration with Traspatio Maya, supporting a network of local producers and hundreds of families in the Yucatán peninsula.

TALLER MAYA & TRASPATIO MAYA

Taller Maya is a collective Mexican design brand formed by a multidisciplinary creative team that collaborates with artisanal social enterprises established in the Yucatan Peninsula to promote the development of their communities. It was founded in 2002 in response to an initiative to recover traditional Mayan techniques through a training program led by the Fundación Haciendas del Mundo Maya (FHMM), which resulted in community self-management and business management projects. Traspatio Maya is a brand representing a network of rural producers established in the Yucatan Peninsula, dedicated to the sustainable production of salts, honeys, corn, and vegetables. It serves as a platform for accessing a fair-trade network, thanks to the various food procurement projects promoted by Fundación Haciendas del Mundo Maya (FHMM) that foster self-management and empowerment of the producers in this region. The artisanal food products available at Traspatio Maya have a triple impact on social, economic, and environmental levels, ensuring equitable labor and trade conditions and sustainable management that protects the natural and cultural resources of the peninsula.
