Visit to a Mayan Community. Living Culture, Traditions and Cenote

Your first stop will be a dry cenote (cavern), where you'll embark on a one-hour journey into the depths of the earth. Discover stunning geological formations, listen to captivating stories, and learn about the sacred significance of these sites. Join your guide for a 20-minute walk that connects you with the earth as you traverse a path through the heart of the jungle. Feel free to go shoeless as you embrace the natural surroundings. Get ready to uncover the secrets of the underworld! Descend 18 meters (60ft) into the heart of the cenote, securely harnessed, and discover the breathtaking beauty of the crystal-clear waters and the chamber's majestic depths.

Join us in a sacred Mayan ceremony, led by a revered shaman, who will purify our energies with ancient rituals, prayers in the Mayan tongue, and a blessing with water. In reverence for Mayan tradition, we will seek permission to honor their ancestral lands. Our shaman is a keeper of ancient traditions and knowledge, who will share secrets of natural medicine and offer personalized guidance to soothe any discomfort. His handmade, plant-based remedies will also be available for purchase, allowing you to take a piece of Mayan wisdom home

Take a charming bicycle tour through the town, guided by your local hosts, and explore its most iconic landmarks: the historic church, graveyard, and more. Join us for a special dinner at the home of a local resident, where you'll share traditional meals and learn about the customs and daily life of contemporary Mayans. This immersive experience allows you to connect with the community and gain a deeper understanding of their culture. One of our stops will be the cemetery, where we will listen to stories and discuss the pre-Hispanic vision of death, as well as the current tradition that we Mexicans celebrate on the "Dia de Muertos" 'Day of the Dead.' At other stops, we will talk about the customs and daily life of the local inhabitants

Immerse yourself in local daily life and cuisine. Indulge in a tasting of Xtabentun, a signature Yucatecan liqueur, before savoring a delicious dinner at a resident's home in Xcan. Enjoy the perfect blend of contemporary Yucatecan cuisine infused with traditional Mayan flavors, topped off with an irresistible dessert. We'll live the thrilling experience of breaking a piñata with the town's children. We'll sing together as the piñata bursts open. It's always a delightful and unforgettable moment! Dinner will be followed by an unforgettable night of traditional Yucatecan dance! Experience the vibrant Jarana folk dance, where locals dressed in traditional clothing will invite you to join in. Don't forget to show your appreciation with a generous tip for the talented performers. Let's raise a glass and share a heartfelt toast as we say our goodbyes. Until we meet again, "hasta pronto!"
