In the morning, you hike through jungle paths, rocks, and waterfalls, following the rhythm of the land. Later, you accompany a cacao farmer, learning about his daily work among the trees that once fed gods and ceremonies.

At midday, you prepare a traditional meal together and learn how to make chocolate from cacao beans. Local children are invited to join a chocolate workshop, where you create chocolate mousse together — a playful and joyful exchange of flavors, curiosity, and laughter.

In the evening, your host family invites people of all ages from the community to a lunada, where stories and life experiences are shared around the fire.

After a gentle morning walk, you venture deeper into the Lacandon Jungle to Red Vive la Lacandona, a network of five interconnected community initiatives working together to conserve and restore the forest.

After settling in and sharing lunch, you visit Casa del Morphom, a butterfly house led by women artisans. Depending on the season, you assist in monitoring eggs, caterpillars, and pupae; identifying host plants; or protecting larvae from pests. You also create a handmade piece using their unique lamination technique.

As night falls, you return to the forest — this time guided by sounds, shadows, and the mystery of nocturnal life.

At dawn, you glide silently by kayak along the river, witnessing the jungle awaken. Birds announce the morning, and with luck, you may spot tapirs, otters, or monkeys greeting the day.

After breakfast, a guided forest walk introduces you to edible plants and traditional uses, led by local experts. You then travel to the community of Galacia, where a family welcomes you to prepare regional tamales using ingredients gathered from the forest. You share this meal together, slow and abundant.

In the afternoon, you choose your own rhythm: a canopy experience through the treetops or a guided forest walk.

An early departure takes you to Yaxchilán, one of the most enigmatic Maya archaeological sites in Chiapas. Accessible only by boat along the Usumacinta River, this ancient city emerges from the jungle like a whispered secret.

After exploring its temples and stelae, you enjoy lunch before continuing to a Lacandon village, where a family welcomes you into a community ecolodge. A traditional dinner marks the beginning of shared life.

At sunrise, you visit Bonampak, famed for its vibrant murals painted over a thousand years ago — a rare and powerful visual memory of ancient Maya life.

Back with your hosts, you enjoy a light snack before joining them in the milpa fields, gathering ingredients to prepare pib, a ceremonial dish cooked underground. While it cooks, you create bracelets using jungle seeds.

The day ends around a bonfire, sharing food, stories, and Lacandon legends under the stars.

In the morning, you embark on a guided jungle hike — or, for those who wish, optional rafting (additional cost). After a heartfelt farewell to your Lacandon hosts, you continue toward Palenque.

You visit the majestic archaeological site of Palenque, once a powerful Maya city, surrounded by lush forest and spiritual silence.

Later, you visit a nearby village where present-day Maya families — direct descendants of Palenque’s inhabitants — welcome you into their homes. You share a local meal and walk through the village with children from the association Children of the Sun, focused on environmental awareness.

Together, you clean and separate waste, transforming recovered materials into a dreamcatcher — a symbol of care, creativity, and responsibility. The journey ends sharing fruit drinks and tamales, closing the circle in community.
