The 4 Sacred Gifts from Lunita
Transformative Gifts from Lunita Jungle Retreat Center in the Riviera Maya, Mexico.
These unique Sacred Gifts arise from our desire to create a magical circle of giving and receiving between Lunita Jungle Retreat and the retreat leaders who choose us.
Each gift is offered with love and intention, and is available to all retreat leaders booking Lunita for more than three nights.
Shamanic Blessing
At Lunita Jungle Retreat, a magical retreat center in the Riviera Maya, your experience begins with a meaningful blessing ceremony led by a Mexican shaman and medicine woman. Typically held in the morning once all participants have gathered, this ceremony lasts between 1 and 2 hours and serves as a powerful introduction to the retreat experience.
During the ceremony, participants are guided to connect deeply with each element while gaining a deeper understanding of their importance. Through traditional rituals and blessings, this sacred practice fosters a profound bond with the natural world and sets the tone for the transformative journey ahead.
A moment of gratitude to the land is included, allowing participants to align their energies with their surroundings and embrace the healing energy of the Mexican jungle. This spiritual alignment creates a harmonious start to the retreat, opening hearts to the nurturing and restorative power of nature.
One Hour Professional Photoshoot
In our wellness retreat center we are thrilled to offer a special gift to our retreat leaders and participants, a professional one-hour photoshoot led by Nico, one of the co-creators of Lunita Jungle Retreat.
This photoshoot is designed to capture the magic and essence of your retreat, highlighting moments of connection, tranquility, and the stunning beauty of the Mayan jungle. Nico’s expertise as a photographer ensures that these images authentically reflect the spirit of the retreat while showcasing the vibrant energy of the group and the natural surroundings.
The photos are not only a cherished keepsake for participants and leaders but also a powerful tool for retreat leaders to promote future events on social media. This collaborative effort creates a visual narrative that embodies the soulful journey shared at Lunita, blending nature, connection, and transformation into timeless memories.
Tree Planting Ceremony
A Gift of Gratitude to Nature, from our holistic retreat center in the Riviera Maya, the Tree Planting Ceremony is a meaningful way to conclude your journey. This special ritual brings the group together to plant a single fruit tree, symbolizing collective energy, personal growth, and gratitude to the land.
The ceremony is not just about planting a tree; it’s an opportunity to give back to nature for the energy and nourishment it has provided during the retreat. The tree becomes a living memory, holding the magical essence of the group and the connections formed throughout the experience.
Tailored to the vision of the retreat leader, the ceremony can include moments of reflection or symbolic offerings, making it uniquely meaningful for each group. As the tree grows and bears fruit, it stands as a lasting symbol of the retreat’s transformative power and a gift to future visitors, continuing the cycle of growth and connection.
This ceremony beautifully blends gratitude, nature, and shared legacy, leaving a profound impact on both the land and those who take part.
Hug Ceremony
Born from the heart of Lorenza, one of the co-creators of Lunita Jungle Retreat, the Hug Ceremony is inspired by the Spanish word Apapacho, which comes from the Nahuatl language and means “to embrace with the soul.” It reflects the essence of care, tenderness, and the healing power of human connection.
This unique ritual invites participants to paint their arms with colors and symbols before embracing each member of the group. Each hug becomes a living expression of love, presence, and acceptance, creating a circle of warmth that transcends words.
The ceremony is not only playful and joyful but also deeply moving. Every painted embrace leaves a mark—both physical and emotional—symbolizing unity, compassion, and the beauty of being truly seen and held.
Retreat leaders can adapt the Hug Ceremony to their group’s needs, weaving in moments of silence, intention-setting, or collective gratitude. What begins as a simple embrace grows into a powerful memory that participants carry long after the retreat ends.
By blending creativity, human warmth, and ancestral wisdom, the Hug Ceremony honors the spirit of Apapacho, reminding us that connection is sacred medicine for the heart.
Experiences at Lunita Jungle Retreat Center
These exclusive experiences are part of what makes Lunita a leading retreat center in Mexico.
Sound Healing by the Meditation Area
Sound healing at Lunita’s meditation area invites you into a sacred space where vibrations from instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks guide you toward inner balance. Surrounded by the stillness of the jungle, the open-air meditation area becomes a natural amplifier of sound, allowing each note to resonate deeply within body and spirit.
This practice is rooted in the understanding that everything in existence, including our bodies, vibrates with energy. When stress, fatigue, or imbalance disrupt these natural frequencies, sound healing helps realign and restore them.
As the vibrations flow through you, they penetrate on a cellular level, encouraging the release of energetic blockages while calming the mind and uplifting the heart. It is not just listening—it is a full-body immersion that brings deep relaxation, clarity, and renewal.
By holding the session in the meditation area, participants are invited into a serene environment where sound, silence, and nature blend into a powerful journey of healing and self-discovery.
Sound Healing by the Pool
At Lunita Jungle Retreat, sound healing by the pool transforms a traditional practice into an even more powerful experience. Immersed in water—the element known as nature’s conductor—your body becomes more receptive to the vibrations of instruments such as Tibetan bowls, gongs, and tuning forks.
Water carries sound waves faster and more effectively than air, allowing every note to ripple through you with greater intensity. The result is a deeper resonance that not only calms the nervous system but also reaches into the body’s energetic pathways, promoting profound release and renewal.
Floating or resting in the pool, participants feel the sounds travel effortlessly through their entire being. This unique environment enhances relaxation, amplifies the healing effect, and creates a sensation of weightlessness that supports both body and spirit.
Sound healing by the pool is more than a therapy—it is an immersive journey where water and vibration come together to awaken balance, harmony, and inner peace.
Yoga and Meditation
At Lunita Jungle Retreat, we offer transformative yoga and meditation classes set in the heart of the jungle.
Immerse yourself in the serene and natural surroundings as our experienced instructors guide you through practices designed to rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit.
Our yoga sessions cater to all levels, blending traditional postures with the tranquil sounds of nature, creating a deeply restorative experience.
Meditation classes provide a peaceful escape, allowing you to find inner peace and clarity amidst the lush greenery.
Embrace the healing power of the jungle as you connect with yourself on a profound level, leaving you refreshed and inspired.
Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing
Enter a state of profound rest through Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation that gently carries you into the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep. In this state, the mind becomes quiet, the body fully unwinds, and a sense of inner spaciousness begins to unfold.
When paired with the soothing vibrations of Tibetan bowls, gongs, or chimes, the experience deepens. These sounds work on a cellular level, restoring harmony across body, mind, and spirit. The resonant frequencies blend with the meditative journey, creating a powerful field for healing, balance, and renewal.
Emphasis is placed on emotional release and nervous system reset, allowing participants to process and integrate what has arisen during the retreat. Stress gently dissolves, clarity emerges, and the body’s natural ability to heal is awakened.
This practice offers more than relaxation—it provides a pathway to reconnect with your inner stillness, cultivate resilience, and carry a renewed sense of peace into everyday life.
Facial yoga
Harmony and Facial Rejuvenation
Immerse yourself in a wellness experience that goes beyond the skin and touches the soul. Our facial yoga course is not just a set of techniques to tone the facial muscles, but a ritual of reconnection with yourself.
Through gentle and mindful movements, guided by our attentive and passionate team, we learn to release accumulated tension and awaken the vitality of the face, reflecting a new inner balance. Each session becomes a moment of listening and transformation, where outer beauty emerges from inner harmony.
Let our team guide you on this journey that unites physical care with nourishment for the soul.
Energy Alignment and Reiki
Restore harmony to your energetic field with this integrative session that blends the gentle power of Reiki with chakra alignment practices. Designed to balance subtle energies, it creates a safe and nurturing space where body, mind, and spirit can realign.
Through the channeling of universal life force energy and direct work with the seven chakras, blockages are gently dissolved and energy flow is restored. This process not only revitalizes but also supports emotional release, bringing clarity and lightness to your inner state.
Sound frequencies and guided visualization enhance the session, creating a multi-layered experience that calms the nervous system and helps release stagnant emotions. Participants often describe a deep sense of peace, renewed vitality, and reconnection with their authentic essence.
More than a healing practice, Energy Alignment & Reiki opens a pathway to greater self-awareness, supporting transformation and grounding your retreat experience in balance and harmony.
Tantric Sound Healing for Couples
The Tantric Sound Healing experience invites couples into a journey where tantric practices blend with the healing vibrations of sacred instruments. Known as a “You are my first” encounter, it opens the space for partners to meet one another’s energy in a deeper, more authentic way—cultivating trust, intimacy, and presence.
At Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, this experience is guided with the utmost care, held as a sacred offering rather than a recreational activity. Through conscious breath, gentle movement, and immersive sound, couples release tension, balance their energies, and attune to each other on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.
The session awakens joy, safety, and renewed intimacy, while also providing practices and materials to continue nurturing the connection beyond the retreat.
This is not simply an activity, but a sacred experience of union. Approached with reverence and openness, Tantric Sound Healing invites couples to reconnect with their essence, deepen their bond, and celebrate the transformative power of love.
Ice Bath
At Lunita Jungle Retreat, our Ice Bath Plunge is a revitalizing experience designed to awaken the body, sharpen the mind, and build inner strength—all surrounded by the healing energy of the jungle.
This guided cold immersion practice helps reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and release stored tension. With mindful breathing and gentle support, you’ll be invited to move through resistance and into a space of clarity, presence, and resilience.
What makes this session truly special is the shared energy it creates. As participants face the cold together, a deep sense of connection and mutual encouragement naturally arises, strengthening bonds and building trust within the group.
Our Ice Bath session is more than a physical challenge, it’s a journey of self-discovery and community. Leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and reconnected to your body’s natural wisdom.
Ancestral Lineage Womb Healing
and Cutting Cords Ritual
This sacred session is dedicated to healing the womb as a powerful center of memory and creation.
Guided meditation leads you to release ancestral imprints, bringing light and restoration to your lineage.
The ritual includes the use of herbs for energetic cleansing of the womb and a symbolic cutting of energetic cords to past relationships or attachments that no longer serve your growth.
Through this work, you reclaim your creative energy, restore balance in your sacral chakra, and open the path to freedom, empowerment, and a deeper connection with your feminine essence.
Life Force Activation
Awaken your inner power through Life Force Activation. This session combines movement, breath, and sound to gently activate kundalini energy, opening pathways of awareness and vitality.
At its core, the practice works through the transmission of non-dual consciousness, allowing you to access expanded states of presence beyond the mind. As the energy flows, you may experience emotional release, deep relaxation, and a profound sense of connection to your body and spirit.
This process helps dissolve stagnant patterns, regulate the nervous system, and ignite creativity and intuition. Each session unfolds uniquely, according to your body’s rhythm, leaving you lighter, more alive, and attuned to your authentic essence.

Experience deep liberation through the power of breath and body in our Sacred Breath & Somatic Release session. This guided journey begins with conscious breathing techniques designed to activate life force energy and expand awareness.
At the heart of this session lies the method of Neo Emotional Release®️ (NER)—a trauma-informed somatic practice that gently accesses and releases unprocessed emotions and tensions stored within the body.
Through safe facilitation, you are guided to dissolve old patterns, free blocked energy, and create space for renewal.
The session concludes with a vibrational sound integration, bringing your nervous system into balance and cultivating a state of calm and presence.
This holistic practice supports emotional clarity, deep healing, and resilience, leaving you grounded, empowered, and aligned with your authentic self.
Energetic Cleansing with the Knife
In shamanism (across different traditions), the human being is considered part of an ecosystem composed of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space (ether/akasha).
The knife is the external tool of air, the element that represents our thoughts and our mind. One of the symbols of air is metal, which carries with it a great power to shape and cut energies (on an energetic level, the blade has no edge).
With the knife limpia, the energies of the three bodies (physical, bioenergetic, and auric) are stirred, purifying from the densest to the subtlest level. The ritual is opened and closed with protective mechanisms, so that the work takes place in a contained, harmonious, healthy, and peaceful way.
The knife is not only a tool of cleansing but also of diagnosis: it reveals the blockages present in your field. During the consultation we will discover together how to release them and, to conclude the session, the Tarot will bring its final messages, integrating the process and offering clarity on your path.
The session includes three card readings designed to integrate the messages and accompany you in your personal evolution.
A meeting that is at the same time healing, revelation, and transformation
Watsu Session by the Pool
(Janzu / Aguahara)
The Watsu session is a deeply restorative aquatic healing practice offered by the pool, where water, breath, and movement merge to guide you into a profound state of relaxation. Floating effortlessly in the water, supported by the practitioner, you are gently moved through flowing sequences that invite your body to release stored tension and your mind to let go of stress.
The serene poolside setting enhances the journey — the water provides a womb-like sensation of safety and weightlessness, while the open air and subtle sound vibrations create a meditative atmosphere. Many participants describe feelings of timelessness, emotional release, and a renewed connection to their inner essence.
This experience draws from traditions of aquatic bodywork and is also known as Janzu or Aguahara, each carrying its own nuance while sharing the same essence of healing through water.
Sound Healing & Vibrational Massage
Immerse yourself in a restorative journey where sound becomes medicine and touch becomes a pathway to release. This unique session weaves the healing frequencies of Tibetan bowls with conscious therapeutic massage, offering a multisensory experience that nurtures body, mind, and spirit.
As the bowls are played directly on and around the body, vibrations travel deep into the cells, dissolving energetic blockages and restoring natural flow. At the same time, gentle therapeutic touch eases muscular tension, supports circulation, and helps release stored emotions held within the physical body.
Together, sound and massage create a powerful synergy. The nervous system calms, stress melts away, and a profound sense of inner clarity and emotional freedom emerges. Many participants describe the experience as deeply grounding and liberating—an invitation to return to balance, wholeness, and peace.
Chiropractic Therapy
The spine is the axis of life: it carries our vital energy, supports every movement, and connects the whole body through the nervous system. When misaligned, this flow can be blocked, creating tension and imbalance on both physical and emotional levels.
Chiropractic therapy is a gentle yet powerful way to restore harmony. With precise adjustments, the therapist helps release blockages caused by poor posture, stress, trauma, or old injuries. As the spine realigns, the nervous system regains fluidity, and the body remembers its natural rhythm.
During a session, many feel a profound release: posture becomes lighter, breathing deepens, and a sense of space and ease arises. It is as if each vertebra returns to its natural place, bringing clarity and balance to the entire being.
Participants often describe it as a return to themselves — a freer body, a calmer mind, and a renewed connection to their vital center.
Personalized therapeutic session
A personalized therapeutic session carefully designed to meet the unique needs of each participant, whether they are dealing with chronic pain, past injuries, or specific physical limitations. This session blends modern rehabilitation techniques with the wisdom of mindful movement practices, creating a holistic approach that supports both body and mind.
Through targeted exercises and guided attention, participants are encouraged to improve mobility, rebuild strength, and stimulate the body’s natural processes of healing and recovery. The work not only helps to ease physical discomfort, but also to release long-held tension that may be stored in the body.
Ideal for those seeking to restore balance, move with greater freedom, or simply optimize their physical performance, this therapy offers a safe and supportive space to reconnect with the body and enhance overall well-being during the retreat.
Ayurvedic Consultation with Acupuncture
Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, teaches that each person has a unique constitution — a subtle balance of elements and energies. This session begins with a thoughtful Ayurvedic consultation to identify your dosha and understand the specific needs of your body and mind.
The practice is then integrated with acupuncture, a millenary art that stimulates energetic points along the meridians to restore the flow of life force. Together, these two traditions create a profound and complete treatment: Ayurveda provides the holistic vision, while acupuncture brings precision and immediacy in releasing blockages.
The result is a deep sense of harmony — body, mind, and spirit realign; energy begins to flow with ease and clarity; you feel both grounded and uplifted. This experience not only supports physical wellness but also fosters mental clarity and emotional serenity, offering valuable tools for sustaining balance and vitality in daily life.
It is a transformative practice where East meets West, tradition meets modernity, and science meets spirituality.

Through the meditative practice of mandala painting, combined with the soothing vibrations of sound healing, this experience brings deep calm, focus, and creative flow.
As you create your mandala, stress and mental tension begin to dissolve, allowing space for self-expression and emotional release. The rhythmic patterns of painting invite mindfulness, while the healing sounds help regulate the nervous system, balance energy, and enhance the meditative state.

Ceremonies at Lunita Jungle
Retreat Center Mexico
These sacred ceremonies are part of what makes Lunita
a leading retreat center in Mexico.
Cacao Ceremonies:
An Ancient Practice for Modern Times
Cacao ceremonies, rooted in the ancient traditions of the Mayans and Aztecs, have been a sacred practice for more than 3,000 years.
These indigenous cultures revered cacao as a holy plant, using it as an integral part of spiritual rituals, offerings, and community gatherings. Beyond being a nourishing drink, cacao was seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Today, cacao ceremonies have been embraced globally for their ability to facilitate emotional healing, inner clarity, and spiritual connection.
In these modern adaptations, participants drink ceremonial-grade cacao in a guided setting, often accompanied by music, meditation, chanting, or reflective practices that deepen the experience.
The ceremony creates space for heart-opening, introspection, and authentic connection—both with oneself and with others. Drawing on ancient wisdom while embracing modern practices, cacao ceremonies continue to offer a powerful pathway to personal and collective wellness.
Temazcal Ceremony
Embracing Ancient Wisdom
Temazcal is an ancient Mesoamerican sweat lodge ceremony that unites physical cleansing with spiritual renewal. Inside the dome, participants are surrounded by herbal steam made from medicinal plants, believed to release toxins, ease tension, and restore balance to the body. The heat and steam stimulate circulation and bring deep relaxation, offering benefits similar to an intense therapeutic treatment.
Guided by a shaman through prayers, chants, and meditation, the ritual becomes more than a detox—it is a sacred space for reflection, release, and transformation. Participants are invited to let go of emotional burdens, confront inner blockages, and open themselves to new clarity and peace.
Emerging from the temazcal, many describe feeling lighter, more grounded, and deeply connected to themselves and the world around them. More than a ritual, temazcal is a holistic journey that harmonizes body, mind, and spirit while honoring the ancestral traditions that have carried this healing practice for centuries.
Kambo Ceremony
A Sacred Rite of Cleansing and Strength
Offered with deep respect at our holistic retreat center in the Riviera Maya, the Kambo Ceremony is a powerful tradition of physical purification and energetic renewal. Rooted in Amazonian healing practices, this sacred ritual uses the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog to support detoxification and awaken inner resilience.
More than a cleanse, the Kambo experience invites a deep connection with the body, helping to release what no longer serves—on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Often described as a reset, it clears blockages, revitalizes the immune system, and brings clarity to the mind and heart.
Held in a safe and grounded space, the ceremony is tailored to each participant’s intention and capacity. Guided by a trained practitioner, the process includes preparation, the application of the medicine, and gentle integration. Each step is honored as part of a sacred journey toward healing.
Kambo offers not only strength and renewal, but a return to the wisdom of the body and the courage of the soul. It is a powerful gift for those seeking to release old patterns and step into the next chapter of their path with clarity and purpose.
Psilocybin Ceremony
A Sacred Journey with Niños Santos
for Healing and Awakening
At Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, we hold the psilocybin mushroom ceremony—known in Mexico as niños santos (“holy children”)—with the deepest respect for its ancient roots. For centuries, Indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica have conducted these ceremonies as sacred rituals, using the medicine to connect with spirit, seek guidance, and restore balance to the body and soul.
Guided by experienced facilitators who honor Indigenous traditions, the ceremony is conducted in a ritual context—rooted in prayers, songs, and practices passed down through generations. Before entering the ceremony, we carry out a thoughtful intake process to understand your intentions, personal history, and needs, ensuring your journey unfolds in a safe and meaningful way.
During the ceremony, niños santos become a gateway to profound awareness. Participants often experience emotional healing, release of blockages, and a renewed connection to nature, community, and spirit. The medicine has the power to open the heart, expand consciousness, and offer insights that are both ancestral and transformative.
Equally essential is the process of integration. After the ceremony, we create space for reflection and grounding through practices such as meditation, journaling, and sharing circles. Integration helps anchor the lessons received, allowing participants to carry them into daily life with clarity and purpose.
This is not a recreational activity—it is a sacred encounter with a teacher plant. Approached with humility, respect, and proper guidance, the niños santos ceremony offers a path to healing, inner discovery, and spiritual awakening.
Ayahuasca Ceremony
A Sacred Medicine of Vision, Healing,
and Transformation
The ayahuasca ceremony is an ancient Amazonian tradition, carried forward for centuries as a sacred ritual of healing, guidance, and spiritual awakening. In Mexico, while the plants themselves are not specifically prohibited, ayahuasca contains DMT, which is a controlled substance. For this reason, ceremonies are held only in a traditional and spiritual context, where this medicine is treated with the reverence it deserves.
At Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, ayahuasca is approached as a sacred teacher plant. Within a safe ceremonial setting, guided by experienced facilitators who honor Indigenous practices, participants are supported through profound inner journeys. These rituals create space for emotional release, healing, and expanded states of awareness, often leading to greater clarity, connection, and renewal.
Preparation and integration are essential parts of the process. Before ceremony, participants are guided with care to set clear intentions and ensure readiness. Afterward, integration practices—such as meditation, journaling, and sharing circles—help anchor the teachings into everyday life.
This is not a recreational experience, but a sacred and protected ritual. Approached with humility and respect, the ayahuasca ceremony offers a powerful path of transformation, harmonizing body, mind, and spirit while honoring the ancestral traditions that safeguard this medicine.
Bufo Alvarius Ceremony
A Sacred Encounter with the Spirit of the Toad
The Bufo Alvarius ceremony works with the secretion of the Sonoran Desert toad, which contains 5-MeO-DMT—sometimes referred to as the “molecule of God.” Traditionally used by Indigenous groups of northern Mexico, this sacred medicine is known for facilitating some of the most profound non-ordinary states of consciousness, often described as merging with pure unity and spirit.
In Mexico, 5-MeO-DMT is a controlled substance, yet ceremonies held in a traditional and spiritual context are generally tolerated when conducted with respect for Indigenous wisdom. At Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, Bufo Alvarius is approached as a sacred medicine, never recreational. The ceremony is guided with the utmost care, honoring ancestral knowledge and creating a safe container for deep transformation.
The experience is often described as a dissolution of the ego, offering participants the chance to release heavy burdens, reconnect with their essence, and experience profound healing and clarity. To support this journey, a careful intake process ensures safety and readiness, while integration practices afterward help participants ground the lessons received into their daily lives.
This is not simply an experience but a sacred encounter with the spirit of the toad. Approached with humility, reverence, and guidance, Bufo Alvarius offers a path to deep healing, spiritual awakening, and connection with the greater mystery of existence.
Hapé Ceremony
A Sacred Ritual of Grounding, Clarity, Connection
The Hapé ceremony is a sacred Amazonian tradition that uses a finely ground blend of tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) and medicinal plants. Delivered through a ceremonial pipe into the nostrils, hapé cleanses the mind, opens the breath, and creates a deep state of grounding and presence.
Traditionally used by Indigenous tribes for centuries, hapé is seen as a medicine of focus and protection, often accompanying other sacred rituals. In ceremony, participants may experience the release of stagnant energy, greater mental clarity, and a renewed connection to body and spirit.
At Lunita Jungle Retreat Center, hapé is offered with respect for its ancestral origins and used as a tool for centering and purification. This simple yet powerful ritual invites participants to realign with themselves, let go of distractions, and enter a space of balance and harmony.
Shakti Healing Ceremony
A Sacred Journey into Feminine Essence
and Empowerment
Shakti Healing is a sacred energy practice rooted in ancient tantric wisdom, designed to harmonize the womb and heart while clearing energetic blockages. This ceremony guides women back into connection with their feminine essence, unlocking pathways of pleasure, self-love, and inner strength.

Chichen Itza Ruins
A Journey into the Heart of Maya Wisdom
Chichen Itza, one of the most celebrated sites of the ancient Maya world, is a living testament to the ingenuity, spirituality, and vision of its people. Located in the Yucatán Peninsula and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, it draws visitors from across the globe to witness its grandeur.
At the heart of the city stands El Castillo (the Pyramid of Kukulcán), a masterpiece of architecture whose precise alignment with the equinoxes reveals the Maya’s extraordinary knowledge of astronomy and mathematics. Surrounding it are the Temple of the Warriors, the Great Ball Court, and many other structures, each carrying its own symbolic meaning and echo of ritual life.
Walking through Chichen Itza is like stepping into a world where science, mythology, and spirituality converge. Every temple and carved stone speaks of a civilization deeply connected to the cosmos, nature, and the cycles of time. Visitors often describe a feeling of awe and reverence as they experience the harmony between the city’s design and the movements of the stars.
More than an archaeological treasure, Chichen Itza offers a profound journey of discovery—a place where history becomes alive, where the past whispers wisdom, and where the spirit of the Maya continues to inspire reflection, connection, and wonder.
Ek’ Balam Ruins
A Hidden City of Jaguars and Maya Splendor
Ek’ Balam, nestled in the northern jungles of the Yucatán Peninsula, is a striking reminder of the brilliance and artistry of the ancient Maya. Unlike the more frequented sites such as Chichen Itza, Ek’ Balam remains relatively peaceful, offering travelers a quieter, more contemplative journey into the past. Surrounded by dense forest, it feels like a hidden city slowly revealing its secrets.
At the heart of the site stands the Acropolis, an enormous pyramid rising above the treetops. Climbing to its summit rewards visitors with breathtaking views of the jungle stretching endlessly in every direction. Along the ascent, intricately carved stucco reliefs and the famous jaguar-mouth entrance display the extraordinary symbolism and creativity of Maya artisans.
Scattered across the site, smaller temples, ceremonial platforms, and protective walls tell the story of a once-thriving city and its spiritual significance. The quiet atmosphere, combined with the energy of the surrounding ceiba trees, creates a sense of awe and reflection.
Exploring Ek’ Balam is more than a visit to ancient ruins—it is an invitation to connect deeply with Maya legacy, artistry, and vision, in a place where history still whispers through the stones.
Coba Ruins
An Intimate Journey into the Jungle
and Maya Legacy
Coba, hidden deep within the lush jungle of the Yucatán Peninsula, offers a unique and adventurous window into the ancient Maya civilization. Unlike the coastal ruins of Tulum, Coba lies inland, surrounded by tranquil lagoons and dense vegetation, giving the site a serene and mystical atmosphere. Less visited than other archaeological sites, it provides an intimate encounter with history and nature combined.
The highlight of Coba is the Nohoch Mul pyramid, one of the tallest in the Yucatán, whose steep steps invite brave visitors to climb to the summit. From above, the sweeping view of the endless jungle canopy evokes both awe and reverence, a reminder of the city’s once-great power and connection to the natural world.
The site’s network of ancient sacbeob (white stone roads) connects temples, ball courts, and residential areas, showcasing the scale and sophistication of this Maya city. Walking these pathways, accompanied by the sounds of birds and jungle life, feels like stepping back in time.
Coba is more than an archaeological site—it is a place of discovery and reflection, where history, nature, and spirituality intertwine, inviting visitors to connect with the enduring spirit of the Maya.
Puerto Morelos Beach
Puerto Morelos, nestled between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, is a tranquil seaside town that has preserved its authentic charm. Its soft white sand and calm turquoise waters invite you to relax, swim, and enjoy the Caribbean at a slower pace.
Just offshore, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—the second largest in the world—offers unforgettable snorkeling among vibrant corals, tropical fish, and sea turtles. This protected marine park makes Puerto Morelos one of the most accessible and rewarding places to experience the reef.
The town itself adds to the charm, with artisan shops, small cafés, and a lively market where local crafts and flavors reflect the spirit of the Riviera Maya.
Puerto Morelos Beach is more than a day at the sea—it is a meeting point of ocean, reef, and community, offering serenity, discovery, and authentic connection.
Tulum
Tulum, perched dramatically on the cliffs of the Caribbean Sea, is one of the most iconic archaeological sites of the Riviera Maya. Its ancient stone walls overlook turquoise waters, offering a striking contrast between Maya history and the endless horizon of the ocean. Unlike inland sites, Tulum combines culture and coast, creating a setting that feels both mystical and vibrant.
The ruins once formed a thriving port city, a place where commerce, astronomy, and spirituality intertwined. Walking among temples, watchtowers, and ceremonial structures, you can imagine the rhythm of Maya life, guided by the sea and the stars. The Temple of the Frescoes and the Temple of the Descending God remain powerful reminders of this city’s spiritual importance.
What makes Tulum unique is its seamless blend of history and nature. After exploring the ruins, visitors can descend to the beach below, where white sand and clear waters create one of the most beautiful swimming spots in the region. Few places in the world allow you to step directly from ancient stone into the sea.
Tulum is more than an archaeological site—it is a living connection between past and present. Here, history, spirituality, and natural beauty merge, inviting every visitor to reflect, recharge, and embrace the timeless spirit of the Maya by the sea.
Akumal Turtle Sanctuary Experience
Bahía de Akumal, meaning “Place of the Turtles” in Maya, is a serene bay known for its calm waters and abundant marine life. Protected by the reef, the bay offers safe swimming and some of the best snorkeling in the Riviera Maya, where sea turtles gracefully glide alongside colorful fish and corals.
Surrounded by soft white sand and palm trees, Akumal retains a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that feels far from the crowds. Whether floating above the reef or strolling along the shoreline, visitors experience a rare balance of natural beauty, wildlife, and tranquility.
Akumal is more than a beach—it is a sanctuary of connection with the sea, where nature and humans meet in harmony.
Caleta Tankah Experience
Where the turquoise sea meets the ancient embrace of the jungle, Caleta Tankah reveals itself as a hidden sanctuary of water and light.

Here you will have the chance to swim in crystalline lagoons, float where fresh and salt waters merge, and feel the cleansing power of nature in its purest form. Caleta Tankah is more than a destination — it is a ritual of reconnection with the elements, a reminder of the flow between beginnings and endings, land and sea, body and spirit.
Surrounded by the songs of birds and the whisper of waves, this journey is an invitation to rest, restore, and remember the simplicity of being.
Tacos Tour
To taste Mexico is to enter its soul. On this guided Taco’s Tour, you will journey beyond the restaurants and into the heart of authentic Mexican flavors, where food is not only nourishment but a living tradition.
From handmade tortillas to savory fillings slow-cooked with ancestral recipes, each stop is a celebration of culture, family, and community.
