Chef Rosalia - A Mayan Foodie Private Tour

The Yucatan is home to some extraordinary food and some very special people. Several of these are folks I visit and have developed lasting relationships with over the past decade I have spent in tourism in the Yucatan. Rosalia Chay is one such person preparing some very extraordinary food. So extraordinary in fact that she was featured in the Netflix series Chef's Table Season Two. We'll visit with her and spend some time at her home in the Yucatan hinterland. A traditional Mayan village with some photogenic spots and even a cenote. The archeological site nearby, thankfully overlooked by the "officials" in their bureaucratic cubbyholes, is even older than Chichen Itzá, just some ways off. On the way, we will be able to get some perspective on life in the Mayan villages as we drive through several on the road to Rosalia, talk about the historic and social context and how the Mayans and some of their traditions have survived (for the most part) during the past 500 years of colonization.
