Mayan Legacy Tour: Tulum, Coba, Cenote & Shaman Ceremony in the Jungle
Experience the Mayan worldview: Xibalbá, the underworld of the ancestors; Lu’um, the earthly world; and Ka’an, the sky of the gods. Discover how Tulum, Cobá, and a cenote reflect this legacy of culture and nature.
Step into the Mayan worldview, where life was represented by the sacred ceiba tree, uniting three realms: Xibalbá, the underworld of the ancestors; Lu’um, the earthly world we inhabit; and Ka’an, the sky where the gods resided.
Your journey begins in Tulum, the walled city facing the Caribbean Sea. Once a vital Mayan trading port, it still preserves traces of blue pigments on its temples, symbols of the spiritual connection between the ocean and the divine.
Next, venture deep into the jungle to explore Coba, a powerful city sustained by its vast network of white stone roads (sacbe’ob). Here rises Nohoch Mul, the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán Peninsula, once believed to bring the Maya closer to Ka’an, the celestial world of the gods.
The experience continues with a refreshing swim in a semi-open cenote, considered by the Maya as a sacred space of renewal and a source of life connected to Xibalbá. Its crystal-clear waters invite you to relax and connect with nature in a unique way.
Later, you will encounter living Mayan traditions: the healing honey of the sacred melipona bee, the cacao seed as a symbol of abundance, and a shaman led ceremony in the jungle an authentic ritual of energy and gratitude honoring the bond between earth and sky.
This is more than just a visit to Mayan ruins. It is a cultural and natural immersion that unites history, spirituality, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Riviera Maya.
