Transport
This was an amazing experience which surpassed our expectations, everyone was very welcoming and went above and beyond to make this such a brilliant unique experience. We paid for a private tour, which was not an insignificant cost, but definitely worth every penny, we were still asked for tips for the Maya family, driver and guide all of which were well deserving and we understand rely heavily on tipping, we would however hope that a large percentage of the cost of the trip went back to them.
On this private tour, you'll see how a Mayan community lives before taking part in their sacred rituals. Your evening begins with a tour of the village, after which you'll stop to learn how tortillas are made from scratch. Then, you'll take part in a sacred purification ceremony inside a traditional temazcal, a volcanic steam bath, to cleanse and renew the mind and body. Next, you'll head over to the local watering hole – a natural cenote – for a nighttime swim, before rounding the evening off with some traditional Mayan fare.
