The cool rush of freshwater as you plunge into the Chukum Cenote awaits you on this flavour-packed tour that explores the Yucatan Peninsula's colourful culture and cuisine. After arriving in the pastel-painted town of Valladolid, you'll head to a lively local market where the air is thick with fragrant spices and the stalls overflow with fresh produce.

The stories, the flavours, the people…it all starts there.” You'll head to a traditional mill to discover the ancient art of transforming corn into masa – the base of Mexico's famous tortilla. Then, you'll learn about the native Chukum tree, whose bark is used in both ancient and modern designs. You'll take part in a traditional Mayan ceremony before that well-earned cool-down dip in the cenote. Next up, you'll wander through a garden to harvest a few fresh picks before visiting a thatched-roof space and traditional Mayan house, each offering a glimpse into daily life shaped by the community. Then, it's time to get hands-on with workshops focusing on ancient Mayan cooking techniques. You'll master the art of salsa, press your own tortillas, and learn about the beloved cochinita pibil, a slow-roasted regional classic. After all the discovery, fun and creativity, you'll then enjoy a buffet lunch bursting with those rich traditional Yucatecan flavours.
