There are two or three different programs. Probably the best organized one is the Toledo Ecotourism Association, which arranges stays in one of 10 participating Maya villages. You stay in a basic but clean guest house, usually with an outhouse and without electricity, then visit Maya homes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Tel. 011-501-72-2680. It's easy to arrange one of these stays after you arrive in Punta Gorda.
