Maya Mountain Research Farm

Location --  Maya Mountain Research Farm is fairly remote. We are two miles up river from the predominantly Kek'chi Mayan village of San Pedro Columbia, in Belize's southernmost district of Toledo.

One border of MMRF is the river called the Columbia Branch of the Rio Grande, the other side of which is the Columbia Indian Reservation. We are about a mile and a half's walk on rugged trails from the ancient Mayan ruins of Lubaantun. The river emerges from the ground 1/4 mile up river from us, and the drainage for this watershed begins in the Columbia River Forest Reserve, a 100,000 acre, unique, fairly pristine natural area of broadleaf forest.

We are in a wonderful location, on the one hand connected to the village by the river that is the local highway, and on the other hand in close proximity to high bush in the Columbia River Forest Reserve.
