The story

Belize Maya Day in Blue Creek/Toledo

Details about this festival are being verified.

Toledo District, in Belize's south, holds the country's densest concentration of Maya villages, home to both Mopan and Q'eqchi' communities whose ancestors arrived through waves of migration from Guatemala across the 19th and 20th centuries, joining descendants of Maya populations with much deeper roots in the region.
