Xikbal: a true nature experience: Trails, lagoons, cenote, regional food, ecosystem preservation and integration of the local Mayan community.

Xikbal Eco-Park Gastronomic Experience — Traditional Mayan Cuisine


  • Duration: 8 hours
  • Price: $2,490


Enjoy a trip to the Mayan jungle on an experience that includes land, water, and air.


Air experience

Zipline over the lagoon and feel the freedom of the wind. From above, the jungle unfolds with trees, flashes of water, and calm. Adrenaline and contemplation in an unforgettable moment.


Water experience

Kayak through two lagoons connected by canals where sky and water merge. A sacred portal leads to the Chimuch (“toad’s mouth”) cenote. A Mayan ceremony and a purifying bath: adventure and rebirth.


Earth experience

Between Yaxché, Chechén, and Chaká, the trails reveal the jungle and its wildlife. You'll hear birds, perhaps a family of monkeys. The hike celebrates the land and the Mayan culture that continues to live on.
