Nytt bostedNyPedal Through Time:
Bicycle Tour of Yucatans Mayan Heritage
In Yaxunah, Mayan history unfolds via dusty paths, timeworn pyramids, and vibrant local traditions. Take a four-hour bicycle tour, journeying beyond history books and museum walls for an authentic encounter with the people, rituals, and flavors keeping this ancient civilization alive today.
• Begin your ride with a warm reception from a Mayan priest at the town’s historic church, where you’ll gain insights into the deep spiritual roots and cultural narratives that define the region.
• Pedal along scenic routes to Yaxunah’s archaeological site, a pre-Columbian city boasting pyramids from 900 B.C. and sacred pathways that whisper tales of ancient civilization.
• Experience the hands-on heritage of Mayan life by visiting a traditional woodworking workshop, observing the timeless process at a tortilla mill, and savoring a ceremonial pozole lunch.
• Conclude your journey with a reflective visit to a cemetery, where you’ll explore age-old burial rituals and learn how offerings of jade and corn underscore the Maya’s profound reverence for the cycle of life and death.
Whether you’re drawn to history, food, or storytelling, each moment of this tour—from the quiet rustle of cornfields to the aroma of handmade tortillas—reveals a culture that has endured for millennia.
