Mayan village evening tour from Riviera Maya in Mexico

4.3/5
104 reviews

Spend an evening with a small Mayan community to learn about their lifestyle and traditions on this half-day tour. You'll begin with a tour of the village, before learning how to make tortillas the traditional way. Next, you'll take part in the temazcal ceremony, a sacred purification ceremony which takes place in a volcanic stone steam bath. Then, you'll have time for a nighttime dip in the community cenote, and, to round the evening off, you'll tuck into some traditional Mayan dishes for dinner.

    Felt a little out of it with our Italian Mexican guide on the cramped van bus journey for 2 hours 10, where we had to pick up from 4 other destinations. No idea of the night ahead. Informed we’d be updated at the base but there were so many nationalities it took 3 times as long to get limited information. The experience was interesting but think there should be more warning for those with chlostrophobia and asthmatic. We returned at midnight 2 hours later than planned, just too late for us.

    Het was een zeer bijzondere ervaring om deze ceremoniele reiniging te ondergaan. De plek alleen al was een ervaring. In de jungle ver weg van alles een klein maya dorp. Heel intiem allemaal. De gids was zeer enthousiast en ging van vloeiend spaans naar vloeiend engels en hield veel respect voor de maya,s. Ik had deze ervaring niet willen missen

    Au départ de l'avion soit le 18/4/26 j'étais en Eco+ les sièges n'étaient pas trop confortables et beaucoup trop serrés, pas beaucoup de place (trop cher pour cette non qualiité). Les films pas récents du tout. L'hôtel beaucoup trop grand 1 km de marche pour aller au restaurant, Qualité des repas pas terribles et non variés, toujours la même chose. L'animation en journée pas terrible non plus toujours les memes activités, aucune variation. Je suis partie seule et je me suis très ennuyée.

    Expérience sortant du commun et de l’habituel. S’il y a une expérience à vivre absolument en venant au Mexique c’est celle ci.

    Jonathan m'a appris beaucoup de choses sur le Mexique pendant le trajet aller ainsi que sur la vie des Maya et sur le déroulement de la soirée. Excursion un peu chère

    Expérience à découvrir, personnes fragiles s’abstenir. Puisque sans trop en divulguer on se retrouve comme dans un Hammam. En revanche, le chaman et le guide, nous demandent régulièrement, si tout va bien et nous font sortir si vraiment ont se sens pas bien.
