Maya Center Mayan Museum

The Maya Center Mayan Museum is a culturally interactive museum, that entertains and teach real Mayan culture. We do hands on demonstration, such as tortilla making, Cultural Dance training, Coffee making and now Chocolate making that is more fun as you get to do it your self and eat the chocolate you make! Now, that's fun.

If you are headed through Maya Center, in Dangriga or even Hopkins, Maya Center Museum is a must stop, Julio and his family are gracious hosts who welcome all like family. They happily hosted my study abroad groups hear after year for meals, museum tours, and even chocolate demonstrations. Julio is a charismatic host and was willing to accommodate dietary needs and our travel schedules. The museum is well-put-together and includes interactive portions, perfect for student groups (including tortilla making, cacao milling, and sugar cane crushing) It has been a pleasure to keep in touch with Julio after many years and see how his business has grown.

Lola's Art Gallery

Reviewed By jilllw

Lola's has the coolest art. Beautiful bright colors that really represent a talented eye and hand. Catch a cab or ride up to her place and check it out. We saw there are also special dinners there too, but didn't get the chance to check it out. We love out wooden plaque with a colorful cat on it.

Art n Soul Gallery

Reviewed By windiheaton - Marin County, United States

I was so glad to find this unique gallery. I stayed in a condo in Placencia that had the art of Nelson Young, that intrigued me and found many of his paintings at Art and Soul. It’s a small gallery and if you are really interested in purchasing some lovely art visit several times and ask the owners to brings things out to look at them in the light. You will be surprised at the beauty of many of these pieces once you see them with good light. Greta was more then happy to bring things out and discuss the art. It was a pleasure to meet the gallery owners and enjoy the art there as well as bring home a beautiful piece that the owners packaged up for me perfectly.
