The villagers mostly live in thatched-roofed, board houses.
They use wood fires for their heat, whether for cooking, making tortillas, firing pottery, or roasting cacao beans for chocolate on comals, round, cast-iron griddles. In the Mayan villages, we'll be invited into people's homes, and with English
being the language of Belize, you will have no trouble communicating with these
lovely people. You'll also hear Kekchi, one of the traditional Mayan languages in this area.
We will be near stunning waterfalls, ancient ruins, organic cacao farms, river scenes, and the flora and fauna of the jungle, all of which you'll enjoy photographing. In addition, you will be welcomed into the modest homes of the Mayan people in the area. We'll be photographing them, of course, but you may also want to try your hand at making tortillas or chocolate, and get a real feel for the culture of the area.In the process, we'll encourage you to seek your own vision, teach you how elements of composition and the magic of light work in concert to make wonderful photographs. This is a location that you may want to share with your spouse or significant other. They are always welcome at our workshops and instantly become part of our group. For them, there are additional activities such as horseback riding, kayaking, swimming, hiking, and medicinal plant walks. Of course, we can partake in these, too! Because we are headquartered in a small, intimate lodge, we only have room for 10 participants (plus spouses and guests), so it is really important to book your cabana early and make your deposit if you want to join us during this special week. We don't want those rooms to go to other individuals outside our group! The lodge rates include all your meals, all your excursions, and all transportation once you arrive at the lodge. We travel by what we have dubbed The Jungle Bus, a gaily-painted, small bus. We start out with some technical information before heading out for our first afternoon of photography. Our workshops include the following:
