Details

Mayan Town Visit: Hop on a 1.5-hour drive to Homun and learn about the town's daily life with a private tour. Engage in a hands-on experience by cooking an authentic Yucatecan dish, particularly the iconic tamal, a cherished Mexican meal with recipes passed down through generations.

Tamale Cooking: Learn the traditional preparation in the heart of a Mayan town from skilled Mayan hands. Experience the soul of Mexico through its rich culinary traditions. Explore a nearby vegetable garden, where you'll personally select your ingredients. At your station, master the art of tamale-making, from hand-preparing corn masa to crafting delectable fillings. Wrap your creations in corn husks or banana leaves, then experience the magic as they steam to perfection.

Cenote Swim: While your tamal is cooking, descend into the Mayan underworld and swim in the pristine waters of Mayan cenotes. Explore two distinct cenotes on this tour—an underground cave cenote and a newer open-air cenote. Both offer a unique experience with crystal-clear waters, providing the perfect setting for a refreshing dip.

What’s Included:

  • Authentic Mexican lunch.
  • 1 complimentary drink.
  • Keepsake recipe.
