What you can expect

Our journey begins in Uxmal, a city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996.

Kabah: A Hidden Jewel on the Puuc Route
The morning will take us to explore on foot the archaeological zone of Kabah, a key settlement on the Puuc Route. Its imposing structures reveal that Kabah rivaled Uxmal, to which it was connected by a sacbé, an 18 km “road.” The architecture of Kabah will captivate you, especially the Codz Pop temple, whose Mayan name means “rolled mat” or “royal mat.” This building, adorned with hundreds of masks of the god Chaac, is a masterpiece of Mayan art, where each mask is composed of 30 individually carved pieces. You cannot miss this jewel of Yucatán.

Uxmal: Secrets of a Timeless Mayan City
Our next stop will be ancient Uxmal, where we will unravel the secrets of this millenary city. Its buildings, decorated with sculptures and geometric mosaics of thousands of polished stones, exhibit an unparalleled perfection in the Mayan world.

A Taste of Tradition: Savoring Yucatecan Cuisine
For lunch, we will enjoy local cuisine in a local restaurant, where you can taste cochinita pibil. If we are lucky and arrive before 1 pm, we will witness the traditional unearthing of the pibil, discovering the secrets of its ancestral preparation.

Hands-On History: Discovering Mayan Writing and Pottery
Are you interested in Mayan writing? Participate in a handicraft workshop in Muna, where you will learn to decorate clay vessels, paint codices, and decipher the meaning of some hieroglyphs. This workshop, led by contemporary Mayans, will allow you to learn the ancestral techniques of Mayan ceramics and create your own piece, understanding the function and meaning of the codices.

Return to Mérida: With the essence of Yucatán in your heart
We conclude our tour returning to Mérida, taking with you the memories and experiences of an unforgettable day in the heart of Mayan culture.
