Lamanai was created at the beginning of the 90's as a promotional
and sales project for Mexican folk art in the Caribbean, from Cancun to Belize. Pre-Columbian art was originally a popular creation that had a specific social function, which has perhaps disappeared through time, yet the desire of the artists that create it lingers on. Improvisation, personality, feeling, and incredible human ability are the qualities that characterize theseartists and artisans whose roots lay in Folk Art.
