The members of Labnaha have gained this knowledge while living among the Mayan village people found hidden away within the tourist destination of the Riviera Maya.

The Mayan word "Labnaha" means "old house in the water" for the caves that represented protection and home to these global thinking people.

"Labnaha" is represented by the icon of the god 'Labna" who was a much venerated god in the ancient Mayan period.

The Mayan culture that suffered greatly with the clash of cultures during European colonization, has found a way to survive in the jungle hidden from the invading cultures that try to change their way of life.

"Labnaha" tries hard to stay in touch with the needs of this culture by learning about their way of life and incorporating these needs into our activities which has allowed us to see the world with another perspective.

Our team finds it important to help protect this culture as well as the underwater cave systems and fragile ecosystem that mean so much to them in the face of the advancing modern world.

The "Labnaha" team feels that there is no better way to protect these people and their complex ecosystem than to educate our visiting clients to understand and know them within their natural world.

We understand that the best teachers for this are the Mayan people
