This is a private, customizable experience that goes beyond sightseeing and focuses on hands-on cultural immersion. Guests don’t just watch — they grind cacao on Mayan stone tools, prepare traditional salsas, make handmade tortillas, and taste honey from two different bee species, including the sacred Melipona bee.
Set in a jungle venue, the experience connects food, nature, and ancient Maya traditions in a relaxed and interactive way. Because the tour is private, the route and pace can be adjusted, and guests may also enjoy scenic drives around the island depending on their interests and time.
