If you want to learn more about culture and customs, this tour was very interesting and authentic. I would highly recommend it. You’re taken into a Mayan village and given the opportunity to experience their way of life. The ceremony, which was translated by a guide, was mindful and spiritual. Part of the ritual has pretty intense heat in an enclosed dark space but you have the option to bale if it gets beyond your comfort zone. The cenote swim afterwards was awesome and very refreshing but you must be able to descend a staircase to access it. Our gracious village hosts served a basic but delicious meal in an outdoor candlelit dining area. As you will find at any tourist stop in Mexico, there was a small shopping area for souvenirs. The ride from Cancun was long, about 2 to 2.5 hours with lots of traffic. Since it is a nighttime ceremony, traffic wasn’t as heavy on the return but be prepared to arrive late to your hotel so you may want to sleep in the next morning.
