Festival Internacional De La Cultura Maya 2013 (Julio Armando Moreno Parra)

The Second International Festival of Mayan Culture, with a program of 540 activities, started yesterday in the city of Mérida and in the municipalities of the Yucatán. The Festival, lasting until November 3, will offer a sample of that ancestral worldview through artistic and gastronomic events.

Activities include baseball games, dances, music, paintings, games, crafts and food from pre-Hispanic times, as well as a demonstration of indigenous medicine. The objective is to support the preservation of values, identity, traditions and Mayan language, said Jorge Esma Bazán, director of the event.

The program is enriched by the participation of artists participating in the Cervantino Festival, taking place in the State of Guanajuato. Honduras and Chiapas are the guests of honor at this edition, which is being attended by representatives from 30 nations.
