Tour Description

Ancient texts describe temples as places where a person is “transformed into a god, into a bright star.” If so, then the enigmatic temples of the Yucatán fulfill that promise, and then some.
On this peninsula stand ancient academies originally set up by dedicated groups of wisdom keepers to promulgate the spiritual elevation of those on a quest for personal transformation. Their teachings embody a cult of knowledge stemming from a remote Golden Age.
For this adventure, we will be working with two of the most powerful Maya symbols: the Jaguar, representing the hidden knowledge and esoteric mysteries that can only be accessed through higher consciousness; and the Serpent, representing the sacred knowledge available to a person on a path of initiation that leads to wisdom.
We follow and experience these teachings from the Great Palace at Ek Balam to the ceremonial center of Mayapan, the Cosmic Maya University of Chichen Itza, and the sacred feminine energy centre of Uxmal. We’ll also participate in an unforgettable ritual inside the womb of the sacred cave Balankanché, where initiates experienced the Otherworld and returned resurrected.
Each temple was designed to embody an essential spiritual teaching forming a library in stone. The seeker distills the knowledge, experiences the subtle forces of the site, then continues to the next, raising their vibration along the way. In pursuing this knowledge of the gods one achieves the full potential of the soul. To quote Miguel Angel Vergara, “The Maya Masters of Light studied deeply the mysteries of the infinite cosmos. In the eyes of the Jaguar they saw the light of creation. In the flight of the Feathered Serpent they created the calendars representing space, time, and movement. Science in union with the heart, technology in union with intuition."
The ancient ones of Yucatán await you in their temples and pyramids to carry you through the Path of Wisdom united with heart, helping you awaken your inner god.
Arrive in Merida and transfer to hotel. Free day and dinner at will as people arrive throughout the day.
(Overnight El Conquistador, Mérida, or similar)
After introductions from our tour leaders, and breakfast, check out of Mérida and drive two hours to the beautiful temple Ek Balam, with its pyramid and initiation chamber. This is the City of the White Temple of Wisdom, SAK-XOK-NAH. The great Jaguar Prophets from the stars designed the city of Ek Balam (Star Jaguar) to teach us the Mystery of the Hidden Knowledge in the universe. Climbing the Great Palace, you will see the seven Jaguar Maya Teachers from the Stars and receive a unique spiritual teaching from each one of them.
We lunch at Hacienda Selva Maya in beautiful natural surroundings and ceiba trees, followed by a refreshing afternoon swim in the warm waters of the Cenote Saamal, the perfect way to cleanse for the transformative journey ahead.
After an hour's drive we check-in to the absolutely gorgeous Hotel Mayaland, set among verdant gardens and swimming pools. Just beyond its gate stands Chichen Itza.
(Overnight Mayaland, Chichen Itza or similar)
A short drive after breakfast takes us to the sacred cave Balamka'anche' for a special ceremony beside an underground lake and the Tree of Knowledge, made from the slow-dripping of limestone over millennia, connecting all three levels of reality. Protected by Aluxes (Maya Earth spirits), its name means Throne of the Jaguar – Serpent. The energy from the sky was grounded here. In ancient times, initiates came here to overcome their fear and test their resolve.
We return to the fabulous Hotel Mayaland for lunch, then walk to Chichen Itza and spend the rest of the day inside the temple city, with Miguel Angel and Freddy discussing multiple aspects of the temples while we walk.
Dinner is on your own tonight. Optional sound and light show at the site (extra cost).
(Overnight Mayaland, Chichen Itza or similar)
We have arranged a 6 am sunrise entrance to Chichen Itza, when the site is quiet and the energy strong. Chichen Itza is the cosmic university where one connects with the science, art, philosophy and spirituality of the Maya. This ancient school attracted students, initiates, and teachers from all over the Maya world. They graduated as AH-KUKUULKANS, masters of great knowledge and balance of spirit, science, knowledge and intuition. Today the Seven Golden Doors wait for you to open the Sacred Wisdom of the Feathered Serpent with the Light of the Sun.
We walk back for breakfast, then return for free time to wander and wonder the site. Lunch is at will; the hotel is right next to the site, so you come and go as you please. We will meet for dinner together to share experiences.
(Overnight Mayaland, Chichen Itza or similar)
Check out and drive just over two hours to Mayapan, the Sacred Shield of the Maya, once the centre of the Maya world, allied with the Masters from Chichen Itza and Uxmal. Legend states how Lord KuKuulKaan arrived here one day to live for a long period of time. He taught the Maya about the structure of the Universe, the stars, sun, moon, and planets. He taught them about the sacred calendar and raised many of them to the level of Halach Uiniks, men and women with an extraordinary level of being, balanced in science and spirituality. KuKuulKaan then left them in peace and returned to the sky.
After lunch, it's free time to explore and ponder over the past few days' experiences. A two-hour drive takes us to Uxmal Resort hotel, amid the jungle and within sight of Uxmal's Pyramid of the Magician.
(Overnight Uxmal Resort Maya or similar)
A few minutes' drive from our resort stands Uxmal, one of the jewels of Yucatán. Freddy will lead a guided meditation to set the tone, followed by teachings from himself and Miguel. According to legend, Uxmal was “a cosmic city that descended from the fourth dimension to amaze the eyes of humankind.” This is a fabulous temple city boasting several pyramids and sacred plazas with highly decorated façades. We’ll enjoy a full day of exceptional walking in a site that is lightly visited. This City of Kindness of Mother Moon carries strong sacred feminine energy, where women were educated to be priestesses and served in the temples, teaching the next generation to access the Sacred Knowledge. The people of Uxmal developed a great sense of intuitive skills, gaining a high level of spirituality in their lives. Beauty, poetry, dance, and the other arts were developed here.
Lunch is onsite, after which there will be time to experience the site at will.
Dinner is on your own. Feel free to enjoy a lovely swim in the pool.
(Overnight Uxmal Resort Maya or similar)
An hour's drive takes us to Labnah, a handsome ceremonial centre with its fascinating arched entrance, and an air of the Far East, because there is a strong Cambodian feel to the architecture. Labnah is connected with the Wisdom Walls of Mother IxCheel. Here the Maya teachers carved great symbols in the temple walls in red cinnabar. The entrance arch is a portal in itself, connecting to other dimensions. There's also an opportunity to walk one of the many zak-be — spirit roads reflecting the path of the Milky Way. These white serpent roads once connected all sites throughout the region in ruler-straight lines.
Lunch is followed by a 30-minute drive to Kabah, with its imposing palace featuring over 200 images of the rain god Chac Mool. Kabah is the Strong Hands of God. Here, the Creator has the power to transform your life and destiny because you were made with Its powerful hands. As the Maya teachers said, “If you believe, you can create, and if you can create, you can manifest.”
Return to Uxmal Hotel for dinner and another refreshing swim.
(Overnight Uxmal Resort Maya or similar)
After check-out we drive an hour to a sacred Mayan cave to conduct a closing ceremony.
Adjacent is the quiet site of Oxkintok, once a major ceremonial centre to, among other things, see a curious building with an interior labyrinth of tunnels once used for the highest level of initiation known as living resurrection. According to legend, this is also a portal connecting with Egypt through the sacred geometry and mathematics used in the Maya calendars. Oxkintok translates as Where Three Suns Continuously Burn. It is connected to Sirius, Orion, and Pleiades. The three bonded on Earth when Katun 13 calendar began 5,125 years ago.
Our time in Oxkintok will be followed by a short drive to the fabulous colonial setting of Hacienda Ochil for a farewell lunch.
We conclude this fabulous adventure with an hour's drive back to Merida and dinner at will in the old town.
(Overnight El Conquistador, Mérida or similar)
