Immerse yourself in a journey through time: from the glorious past of the great stepped pyramids to the contemporary world of the present-day Maya. Begin your day with the scenic drive from Costa Maya. Arriving in a small, contemporary Mayan community built up around the remains of an ancient Mayan settlement, you'll visit one of the fascinating ruins right in the middle of town. Follow your native guide into an authentic Mayan house where you'll learn how totally committed the locals are to keeping their traditional beliefs and customs alive. As you interact with a family in their home, you'll learn about ancient medicines that are still in use today, and you'll enjoy a freshly prepared lunch of traditional Mayan/Mexican Cuisine including buried earth-cooked chicken pibil. Guests looking for a great adventure need look no further than this moderately active full-day Mayan Cultural Experience with return transportation to the pier.
