Maya Fish Cooking Experience is an authentic blend of ancient traditions and modern comfort. This hands-on cooking session allows you to prepare fish just as the Maya did thousands of years ago, using organic, locally-sourced spices and cooking it over an open fire. The experience takes place in a newly renovated Maya house, next to a preserved 'Chultun'—a fascinating, ancient refrigeration method. After crafting your meal, you can savor it either in the traditional setting of the Maya house or at the elegant Running W Restaurant, offering a truly unique and immersive cultural dining experience.

What to expect

Immerse yourself in culture at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel. In this Maya Cooking Experience, you will learn how to prepare a succulent fish cuisine, in the same manner, the ancient Maya cooked fish thousands of years ago. The fish is cooked on a fire heart and is marinated with local and organic Belizean spices. The cooking session takes place in a newly renovated Maya house, built next to a preserved ‘Chultun’ (a natural refrigerator used by the ancient Maya to preserve food and meats for days), and can be eaten under the Maya House or at the on-site Running W Restaurant. Explore this new on-site experience.
