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.
A Note About Our Hotels:
Another aspect that makes this journey unique is the beautiful, luxurious and special hotels that we are using at Uxmal and Chichen Itza.
The historic Hacienda Uxmal is not only beautiful and comfortable, it is also steeped in the history of our times. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip stayed here along with other famous people including Princess Grace of Monaco and Jacqueline Kennedy and her family, so you are in good company.
For two splendid nights, enjoy the tropical gardens, beautiful grounds, and an inviting working plantation. There are two restaurants to choose from and a great selection of Chocolate at the Chocolate Museum next door. The real plus for staying at the Hacienda Uxmal is it is only a short walk to the magnificent Maya site of Uxmal. That means no bus is required and when you need a break you can walk back to the Hacienda for a refreshing swim and recharge.
In 1923, the Mayaland was the first hotel built in Chichen Itza, making it the first resort within an ancient site in the world. The hotel is a creation of ‘Old Yucatan’ and you will love walking the paths through natural and landscaped grounds, lush vegetation, trees and flowers. It is an amazing place and we get to spend three nights here!
Mayaland is adjacent to the site of Chichen Itza and the energy of the Maya sacred site flows through it constantly. There are even ancient temple foundations right on the hotel land. There are plenty of choices for food including restaurants, buffets, snack bars and even an open air pizzeria. There are also plenty of places to shop. All this and comfortable rooms, swimming pools, green grass, flowers and more.
The Mayaland even has its own entrance to the site so it is easy to visit the site, return for a swim, eat lunch and go back for more of the wonders of Chichen Itza.
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, we check out of Mérida and drive an hour to a sacred Mayan cave to conduct our opening ceremony.
Adjacent is the quiet site of Oxkintok, once a major ceremonial centre, to see among other things, 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.
Our time in Oxkintok will be followed by a short drive to the beautiful Hacienda Uxmal which will be our home for the next two nights.

Just a short walk from the Hacienda stands Uxmal, one of the jewels of Yucatán. Freddy and Miguel will offer explanations around the site. 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 you can experience the site at will.
Dinner is on your own. And there’s an outdoor swimming pool to enjoy.

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.
We then drive to Kabah, with its imposing palace featuring over 200 images of the rain god Chac. Kabah is the Strong Hands of God, where the Creator transforms 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.”
Following lunch we transfer to the absolutely gorgeous Hotel Mayaland , set among verdant gardens and swimming pools. Just beyond its gate stands Chichen Itza.
(Overnight at the Mayaland Hotel or similar)
This morning drive to the beautiful temple of 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 stop in Valladolid for lunch at a beautiful restaurant on the picturesque main plaza. There will be time for a stroll around the square and maybe a little shopping before returning to The Mayaland.
(Overnight at the Mayaland Hotel or similar)
We have arranged a 6 am sunrise entrance to Chichen Itza, when the site is quiet and empty 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 you return to tour the site alone for the rest of the day. Lunch is at will; the hotel is right next to the site, so you come and go as you please.
(Overnight at the Mayaland Hotel or similar)
A short drive then 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.
Following lunch, we return to Chichen Itza, where Miguel Angel and Freddy will discuss multiple aspects of the temples, and you will see why you were attracted to certain buildings the day before.
Return to Merida and a free evening to sample the restaurants and shops of this Spanish Colonial city. Dinner on your own.
(Overnight El Conquistador, Mérida, or similar)
Breakfast then we travel to the beautiful cenote Santa Cruz for our closing circle to give thanks to our spiritual guides and gifts we have received throughout the journey. Cenotes are natural wells, sacred to the Maya, with water containing powerful energies from ancient times. Following the ceremony you can swim and relax in the purifying water before heading out to Mayapan to bid farewell to the Maya Masters of Light who have been guiding us throughout this journey.
Mayapan means 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.
Freddy and Miguel Angel will walk through this amazing site talking about the treasures found here. Freddy will also teach how to attract and move earth energy currents. There will be time to explore on your own before we head out for a special farewell lunch.
We then return to Merida for your last night here. Dinner is on your own and you will have time for any last minute shopping and to prepare for your flight home tomorrow.
(Overnight El Conquistador, Mérida, or similar)
There are no events or meals scheduled, since many participants leave at dawn. You will be transferred to the Mérida airport for your flight home.
