This was an incredible experience. My guide was Alex and his understanding and willingness to share his Mayan tradition was a true gift.

This was a fantastic experience that really showed a side of Maya history and culture that is rarely seen by visitors! Make sure to dress for heat and to get dirty, this is an authentic experience. The walk to the ceremony isn't bad at all but wear good hiking shoes since it is rocky. The guide shared a lot of unique information and allowed questions to be asked before the ceremony began. Make sure to add this to your list of activities, I plan to return next year and do it again!

What a treat to get to see and learn about such a fascinating and beautiful culture. From the moment we met our shaman we could tell he was a special person. He explained the significance of where and why they perform these ceremonies. We did a cleansing ceremony and it was beautiful. It was a truly unique experience. The walk to the caves was a little steep. We took a chicken bus to and from town. We highly recommend to get off the regular tourist route and try something like this.
