Description
Be amazed by the first stop at the archaeological zone of Uxmal through a guided tour that will help us discover the secrets of this wonderful place. We will walk through structures that highlight the Puuc style of the area, as well as containing mysteries and legends.
Later we visited the archaeological zone of Kabah, known as the second largest religious center of the Puuc style. Declared a State Park since 1993. The oldest reference to this settlement is the one that appears in the Chilam Balam of Chumayel. The name of Kabah comes from the Yucatec Mayan kab, hand and ah, which refers to the pronoun he. He translated it as "The lord of the strong and powerful hand."
The last stop is the Choco Story, where the history of the ancient cacao is recovered: from its origin, distribution and uses around the world, to showing its ancient Mayan preparation methods, all in the company of a guide through various Mayan cabins distributed throughout the park. In addition to the tour of the museum, you can visit the botanical gardens with cacao trees, a meliponary, enjoy a live traditional Mayan ceremony lasting 15 minutes and complement it with a tour of the animal shelter, where you can admire endemic fauna that has been rescued (monkeys, deer, jaguars, crocodiles and birds). It ends with a visit to the museum store where you can buy organic chocolate, books and souvenirs.
