Fodor's Expert Review San Miguel
The Maya Heartland
Family
You could find yourself in this Kek’chi Maya village of 400 people if you book one of the area homestays with the Toledo Ecotourism Association (T.E.A.). Residents here are accustomed to visitors and actively participate in their programs. St. Michael is the patron of the town; his statue stands guard over the altar in the parish church. The aroma of homemade tortillas wafts from homes as you walk down the street. The Rio Grande becomes a veritable beehive of community activity on laundry day.
