 Add to Cart
It is a magical night living and learning from the knowledge of a
typical Mayan family that still lives in the jungle far away from
technology and civilization managing to keep their ancient traditions.
We leave from Playa del Carmen around 8pm driving approximately,
one hour to get to the community of Dos Palmas in the middle of the
jungle. Its amazing how the jungle lives at night.
The head of the family is the inherit ant of this magic
traditions and he goes on showing them to his son, and this follows the
family line. This is the way we know most of the things of the Mayans.
The Temazcal, (ancient sauna bath) is one of this traditions that the
Mayan community shares with the visitors .
After the Temazcal sauna bath, we have the opportunity of
swimming in a cenote, (natural cavern sink holes) that with its
refreshing water reenergizes us and welcome the visitors back into the
world as warriors in mind and spirit.
We also enjoy a dinner based in chicken pibil, made with achiote
(BBQ flavored regional seed) beans, rice and hand made tortillas, also
vegetarian dinner is available upon request.

from them and their every day instruments and rustic furniture
