Nahá living experiences of the lacandon people

We are riding on a rowboat on the Naha lagoon when our guide Juan, stops the row for a moment. It seems like if he had remembered something, he keeps it to himself and keeps on rowing while he asks:

– Do you know why the dog stole the crocodile´s tong?

– The dog stole who? What? Answers one of us.

The day before the “Day of the Death” men and women prepare themselves to receive the souls of those who come visit…It is a very sad day since families and friends cry when they remember their loved ones.

Women are the ones in charge to wrap their loved ones with flowers that are stitched by hand. This technique was taught since Mother Mary’s days. The clothes mean protection and cultural survival as […]

Lacandones

The Lacandones are one of the most remote ethnic groups that come fro the Maya Culture still remaining. They call themselves “hach winic” which means “real man”. Some things that stand out from the Lacandones is their handmade work with fabric, ceramic, flutes and a kind of boat called “piraguas” which are boats that only fit 1 to 2 persons.

The name “Lacandon” comes from their very beginnings when they used to live in an island in the Lacantun River, so they were known as “the Lacantun”, with time the name changed to Lacandones.
