| TRAILS Maya
Mountain has developed two distinctive trails with marked specimens and self-guided
tour books for your use. The bush trail covers a one hour loop up the mountain adjacent to
the Lodge. The ancient Maya trod here. You can see the ceremonial site at the top of the
bush trail. A second trail, the ornamentals and edibles trail, encompasses the gardens
where the cottages and dining area are found. Each trail has a guide book and labeled
specimens along the paths.
