Experience a unique Mayan ritual in the heart of Progreso, Yucatán. Cocoa, known as the “food of the gods,” was used for centuries by the ancient Mayans in sacred ceremonies to open the heart, thank the earth, and connect with the divine. Today, you have the chance to be part of this living tradition in an intimate and cultural setting.
The experience kicks off with an energy-charged welcome: copal incense to cleanse and harmonize your spirit. Then, through ceremonial face painting, you'll join the sacred circle that marks the beginning of the ritual. With each stroke, you honor your ancestors and prepare the way for inner connection.
In the circle, you'll hear the story of cocoa and its deep meaning in the Mayan worldview. Then comes the central moment: the cocoa ceremony. You'll drink this ancestral elixir prepared in the traditional style, while the guides share songs, sound healing, and words that invite introspection. It's not just a drink; it's a spiritual medicine that opens the heart and awakens the senses.
The experience is completed with a signature brunch inspired by the tradition and flavors of Yucatan. Each dish is crafted to harmonize with the cocoa and wrap up the ritual with a touch of culinary delight. You can also explore a small cultural souvenir shop to take a piece of this experience with you.
