There will be no better place to enjoy cochinita pibil as in Hecelchakán: locals know what after 10:30 am is rare to find it as it runs out easily! Explore with your guides the market and learn about the colonial era in this Mayan region.

Our second stop, Becal, offers you the most unique experience as the women and men from town teach you how to use the “jipi-japa” handscrafts. Hats and objects are worked underground in this natural caves.

The last stop, Pomuch is an adventure by itself: the funerary ritual of Dia de los Muertos includes exposed osaments perfectly fit in wooden boxes, outdoors in the cemetery for everyone to appreciate. And also, the local pastry: pan de pichón, the perfect mix of jalapeño, cheese and ham.
