Royal Maya Wedding Reenactment at Santa Rita Site Belize

The "Festival del Mestizaje" that was held at the Santa Rita Archaeological Park and Wedding Garden in Corozal Town on December 20, 2012 featured the re-enactment of the wedding between Tzazil-Ha, the Mayan Princess and Gonzalo Guerrero, the Spanish Conquistador. The festival was held at such a historic event of the Maya calendar to bolster awareness and raise funds for a project approved in January 2012 by NICH and the Institute of Archaeology (IOA). The project involved the development of the tourism potential of the Santa Rita Archaeological Park by transforming it into the "Official Mayan Wedding Garden of Belize."

Ambergris Today did a great job of photographing, videoing, and reporting on this fantasic event at Santa Rita in Corozal in December, 2012. Santa Rita is not being excavated more, and already a tomb with intact artifacts has been found. This is SO exciting for Corozal and Santa Rita, birthplace of the Mestizo, and future home of the Wedding Garden! Corozal.com will be keeping up with activity there!
