🍫 Traditional Mayan Drink:
Taste a freshly prepared cacao-based beverage made with traditional spices, just as the ancient Maya once enjoyed.
👩🍳 Chocolate Workshop:
Create your own artisanal chocolate! Learn how to mold and decorate it with traditional toppings while discovering the secrets of cacao.
🌧️ Mayan Ceremony:
Participate in a spiritual ritual dedicated to Chaac, the Mayan god of rain, asking for prosperity and abundance. Ceremonies and chocolate tastings take place approximately every 20 minutes.
🦜 Wildlife Encounter:
Visit the on-site conservation area (UMA), where you can observe and interact with rescued wildlife in a protected environment.
🏡 Cultural Journey:
