HURRICANE DEAN UPDATE
As you may know, Costa Maya was davastated by hurricane Dean, this past Tuesday, August 21st. Our village Chacchoben, was also seriously affected and most families lost everything they had. The good news is that nobody was hurt and that we are all willing to work very hard to rebuild our community.
As for now, we do not have any official information regarding when cruise ships will return to Costa Maya. However, we know that everyone will work hard and that cruise ships will come back as soon as we are ready to provide services to our visitors.
For the moment, we are working hard in our village, and have no plans to go out of bussines. In fact we are planning to offer other options for our clients arriving to Calica and Playa del Carmen.
We are open for reservations for next year and you can be sure that at The Native Choice we will be ready to offer our services when the first cruise returns to Costa Maya.
We also appreciate all the emails we have received from friends and past clients. Please know that we will be responding everyone as soon as services are available in our community. For the moment we can not communicate with the outside. |

What many satisfied cruise ship passengers say about David and Ivan's tours in Costa Maya:
Dear Ivan and David,
I am writing to thank you for escorting us on the tour of the Chacchoben Ruins last week. It was truly the highlight of our vacation.
Your knowledge of the ruin site and ancient Mayan culture was impressive, but what I will probably remember most is your personal stories. Your eloquent description of how each of your grew up, and how you were shaped by your families and Mayan culture was fascinating.
No standard shore excursion package from a cruise line will provide the kind of one-on-one interaction that is possible in the small groups that you arrange. I have already shared many of my friends how you described the impact of electricity (and satellite television) on expectations and aspirations for youths growing up in Mayan villages.
I wish you the best of luck in continuing to grow (but, please, not too big!) your tour business. I hope to be able to visit the area again and would look forward to introducing my family and friends to your services.

David Villagomez
Since David was a little boy, he started his training in herbolary and traditional Mayan medicine under the guidance of his grand mother, who has served Chacchoben and other villages as the medicine woman and midwife.
Ivan Cohuo
Ivan is the youngest of eight Cohuo children who were born at the ruins of Chacchoben and had the temples of this ancient Mayan city as his playground.
What makes David and Ivan's tours in Costa Maya different?
While the others learn about our culture from books, we have simply learnt how to transmit our experiences in life... While the others show you our culture, we explain it to you. Because seeing it, is not the same as understanding it.
The result is the insight only natives can give to a site!! |
