Cozumel

We will visit the park "La Kiin" located 5 minutes from the cruise ports of Puerta Maya and ssa mexico.We will revive the Pok Ta Pok, the ancient ball game of the Maya! It's not a match, it's a sacred battle where Mayan warriors hit a 4kg ball with their hips. Witness the rite written in the holy book "The Popol Vuh: the struggle between life and death". The prize? Captain's sacrifice. Live it live! Here you will walk a path to visit the huts and taste the corn tortilla with a rich sikil pak, artisan chocolate, honey and tequila. At the end of the tastings and to conclude we will visit the monuments of great importance in the history of Mayan culture and the shop of a local artisan.
