 Most
visitors to the Riviera Maya, Cancun and Playa del Carmen do not realize
that decedents of the Maya who built the pyramids at Coba and temples
of Chichen Itza still make up the majority of the people in the Yucatan.
Visitors might go to dinner for Mexican food, but what they are served
are specialties from northern Mexico, not native to the Yucatan peninsula.
Please
visit the
Yaxche Maya Restaurant website
for special
events and Mayan festivals
in Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Inspired by his grandfather's
knowledge of and respect for the Yucatecan Maya, Alberto Lizaola dreamed
of teaching visitors to the Yucatan about the Maya and their traditions.
With this goal in mind, Yaxche Maya Cuisine promotes Maya cooking with
a Playa del Carmen, Mexico, restaurant Yaxche
Maya Restaurant and this informational website, FuegoNuevo.com.
Yaxche Maya Restaurant is involved with the local Maya community
in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and seeks to introduce visitors to the culture
of the living Maya. Throughout the year, Yaxche Maya Restaurant has special
dinners and parties so guests can participate in the festivals and
rituals of the modern Maya, to learn more about Maya traditions. Yaxche
Maya Cuisine periodically organizes travel promoting Maya cuisine, such
as a recent excursion to Chiapas.
Since everyone can't travel to Playa del Carmen, Alberto Lizaola created
this information website - FuegoNuevo.com
- to bring the recipes, culture and traditions of the living Maya to people
around the world. Fuego Nuevo  means
"New Fire" and is a celebration of Maya cuisine.
Fuego Nuevo is a non-profit online history of ancient and modern Mayan
festivals, regional cooking techniques, and food
production. If you can't visit our Playa del Carmen restaurant to
try Maya cuisine in Mexico, please try our Maya recipes
at home or explore Fuego Nuevo.
