About the experience

Experience the Mayan world as few tourists ever do. Cobá was once a major city of up to 50,000 people, and unlike other ruins, you can still climb the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán Peninsula – Nohoch Mul at 138 feet!

The adventure deepens when we visit a traditional Mayan village where the ancient culture lives on. Meet local families, learn about their daily life, participate in a traditional cooking class, and try your hand at crafting with local artisans.

This tour is designed for travelers who want authentic connection, not just sightseeing. You'll share a meal with the community, learn phrases in the Mayan language, and gain appreciation for a civilization that continues to thrive today.

This felt like a real cultural exchange, not a tourist show. Making tortillas with the families was so fun.

Loved the pyramid climb! The village part was interesting too, though 3 hours there felt long.
