Ihr Reiseerlebnis mit Bamba

Start your journey with a comfortable private pickup from your hotel in Mérida, Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Valladolid, whisking you away to the heart of Yucatán.

Maya Culinary Experience: Crafting Cochinita Pibil Receive a heartfelt welcome from Yaxuná’s women dressed in traditional huipiles. Step into Maya tradition as you learn ancestral methods for preparing the delectable cochinita pibil. Grind fragrant spices using a stone metate, combine achiote and citrus, and marinate pork just as generations have done. Bury your creation in an underground pit (earth oven) for slow roasting.

Immersive Exploration: Yaxuná Archaeological Ruins Wander through the untouched ruins of Yaxuná, inhabited since the dawn of the Maya civilization. Scale the towering Acropolis for sweeping jungle vistas, explore a royal tomb, and admire unique structures blending Puuc and Petén influences. Marvel at the story of the ancient sacbé—a remarkable 100 km white road leading all the way to Cobá.

Refreshing Break: Lol Há Cenote Swim Escape the heat with a plunge in the crystalline waters of Lol Há Cenote. Leap from natural platforms, float through sunbeams, and savor this magical underground oasis—life vests provided, perfect for swimmers of all abilities.

Maya Feast and Community Connection Return to the village for a festive communal meal. Together, unearth the pit-roasted cochinita pibil and savor it alongside fresh tortillas, traditional rice and beans, and homemade sauces. Share stories and laughter with village members before your private transfer returns you to your accommodation.

As the sun begins to set over Yaxuná, you bid farewell to your gracious hosts, hearts and spirits full from a day rich with flavors, stories, and discovery. With memories and newfound connections etched into your journey, relax in comfort as your private transfer whisks you back to your Mérida hotel, concluding an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Yucatán. Board your air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a smooth, scenic ride back to your hotel in Mérida. Let the sights and sounds of the day replay in your mind, carrying with you the warmth of the community and the spirit of the Maya for the rest of your travels.
