Javier Hernandez faces two rows of 18 girls between the ages of two and fifteen. “Ready?” he asks, then nods to the woman in charge of music. Laura Branigan’s 1982 hit “Gloria” fills the air. After a “cinco, seis, siete, ocho” from Javier, the girls leap into their routine.

It happens that way every Tuesday night. Girls from all four corners of Pueblo Maya gather in front of Javier’s house to practice for a big competition held in Cozumel in February. Javier choreographs the routine, designs and sews costumes for the girls, and does their makeup. “Be brave, be fearless,” he tells them before the music starts again.

Rosa Hernandez stands beside her husband while he makes conchas, a sweet, fluffy Mexican bread that comes in different flavors. “We’ve been here for four years, she says. “ It’s gone by,“ she snaps her fingers, “like that.”

Rosa’s family – her husband, two sons, two daughters and their dog, Nacho – moved here from the much larger Playa del Carmen after her husband, apanadero, or bread maker, found it hard to compete there. In Pueblo Maya he’s one of two bread makers, serving the people who moved to the neighborhood to work in the resorts that line the coast of the Riviera Maya.

Rosa, who sells the bread and pastries her husband makes from a cart in front of their home, says that although business is better in Pueblo Maya, it’s not steady. “There are good seasons and bad seasons,” she says. “When the tourists don’t come, those are the bad seasons.”

Every morning, Carolina Manzanilla takes a ferry from the town of Puerto Aventuras to the popular tourist island of Cozumel. She travels those 20 miles to her job at a bustling hotel.

When she was hired five years ago, she started in laundry. One day, her friend let it slip to management that Carolina had a deep passion for cooking. She was given a trial period in the kitchen, after which her bosses gave their verdict. “They said, this is your kitchen, you tell us what you need,” she says.

Here, she is pictured at a friend’s house in Pueblo Maya with two of her three granddaughters. “Everything I do, it’s for them,” she says.
