Wonderful Experience 3 in 1

Our guide Nadia was awesome! People in our group was great too. I really recommend this ceremony in this place for the first timers, because it was much gentler than the one I had last time in Playa del Carmen. The cenote in this village was also wonderful, compared to other ones I’ve been. We had a great time here and learned how to say thank you in Mayan language. I used it to Mayan guide next day and he was happy to hear it.

Unforgettable experience

It was an unforgettable moment!! With our guide Jonathan, we had a really amazing experience!! We escape for a few hours of our world with this Mayan ceremony and especially stay for a good time in a kind of natural sauna with burning stones in the dark and there we eliminate all our toxins before diving a very fresh cenote and a typical Mayan dinner .. frankly it is absolutely necessary to do it to connect to the essentials of our existence!!... Just thank you to Jonathan.

Waaaay too far from Cancun!

Although the Tour says that it is four hours, that did not include the 2 1/2 hours drive to get there and 2 1/2 hours back. The driver never said a word, to the point that we thought we may be kidnapped! The tour also was advertised as small group however that is just how many people are in the van. Once we got to the site, many other vans drove up so the actual tour was nearly 40 people. Not what we had signed up for! Other than that, the actual experience was very interesting and the food was better than it needed to be.

Wonderful and so connective

This was an incredible experience. The guides were wonderful and the entire ceremony was well explained. I will say it is about 2 hours down from Cancun though so bring some snacks! Thank you to the Mayan people for sharing this experience with us!
