DANZA DE LA CABEZA DE COCHINO " OK´ OSTA POL KE´ K´EN "

Entre los mayas es com�n que sus celebraciones festivas y tradicionales tengan una esencia pagano-religiosa, ya que aunque la celebraci�n de "la danza de la cabeza de cochino", es una l�cida danza de aspecto m�s bien sat�rica y divertida, esta se realiza frente a la iglesia del pueblo durante las fiestas patronales.

Starting tomorrow guys! See you there! We will be showing a special video paying tribute to San Pedro.

San Pedro starts celebrations for Dia de San Pedro!

The traditional island festivities of the anticipated 'El Dia de San Pedro,' have already begun on La Isla Bonita. The activities, which honour St. Peter (San Pedro) the Patron Saint of fishermen on the island, opened early on Thursday, June 29th with a fishermen's mass at the San Pedro Catholic Church. Following the mass, a traditional fishermen's breakfast was hosted at the Lions Den, after which, all the fishermen gathered in front of the Central Park for a boat procession that began at the municipal pier at 6AM. At the end of the procession, all boats and fishermen were blessed by Father Scott Giuliani.

A series of fun activities have been planned for the weekend, including photo exhibitions, cultural dance presentations, international performances, sporting events and lots more.
