MAYAN DAY OF THE DEAD

Mayan Day of the Dead Experience

Begin your day with a visit to the Tres Reyes Mayan community for an intimate look at Hanal Pixán, the Mayan version of Dia de los Muertos. You'll learn the significance behind the altars, offerings, and rituals as the locals explain how they honor their ancestors during this deeply spiritual tradition.

Next, take an optional swim in a sacred cenote, followed by exploring another cenote surrounded by stunning karstic landscapes. Purified in body and spirit, proceed to Doña Lucy’s home, where you’ll help prepare traditional Mayan dishes under the guidance of Chef Lucy, as seen on Chef’s Table.

While your meal cooks in a ground oven, participate in a traditional Mayan blessing performed by the local shaman. End the day with a flavorful feast of the dishes you've prepared, celebrating both the culinary and cultural richness of the Mayan people. Perfect for those seeking an immersive cultural adventure!
