Day 5: Maya Medicine Tour

Julia Tao​
The group went on the Maya Medicine Tour today. We saw many different types of plants and were even able to make corn tortillas, as well as our own "bug spray" by combining different crushed plants. After lunch, we participated in a Maya ceremony. We then drove to the Spice Farm and took another tour where we saw and ate many different types of plants. An interesting berry called the "miracle berry" affects the taste buds and makes sour food taste sweet. Afterwards, we drove back to Placencia and ate at Dolce Vita before returning to Sunset Pointe.
