At the beginning of the tour, you will go to a Maya ranch. There will be waiting for you a unique experience: a mysterious cocoa ceremony - Drink of the Gods, as it was called by the ancient Maya. The main advantage of cocoa is the enzymes of happiness contained in it, as well as a large number of microelements that improve the body's resistance. The ancient Maya believed that during the ceremony, people can communicate with spirits and Gods, heal from illnesses or solve a complex life problem, we can get in touch with our personal wisdom, we connect with the love that resides in us, we get in tune with nature and the Universe. It is a way that helps us to open the body and the mind to experience the soul.
Local shamans still practice this ritual.
After this delicious experience, a purification ritual in the "house of hot stones" which has survived to our times will give the perfect ending to this day. Temazcal - An ancient ritual, guided by an Indian shaman that has always been a source of health for the people of this land. Taking the strength of the volcanic stones and inhaling the aromas of medicinal herbs, you will go through 4 stages of purification, thereby approaching bodily and spiritual harmony. Later you will have time to rest in a hammock and enjoy a light snack of tropical fruits.
