A close friend of Abbey del Sol, Michael A. Maurus, is offering an intimate and authentic glimpse into the Maya Hinterland—a rare opportunity to connect with the land, its traditions, and its people in a meaningful way.

Why Visit the Maya Hinterland?

This is a truly unique experience. A visit to the Maya Hinterland is a chance to:

Learn from the Guardians of Ancient Traditions: Witness the art of Maya beekeeping and the significance of Melipona bees, whose honey has been treasured for centuries.

Walk Through the Lush Jungle: Immerse yourself in the serenity of the jungle, guided by Michael’s knowledge and the wisdom of the local community.

Swim in a Hidden Cenote: Discover the crystal-clear waters of a cenote, a sacred natural wonder that offers tranquility like no other.

Experience the Past at San Antonio de Padua: Explore the ruins of this historic site and learn about its cultural heritage.

Savor Maya Cuisine: Indulge in a meal prepared with traditional methods, sharing stories and flavors in a warm and welcoming setting.

Private and Exclusive

Michael’s excursions are private and highly exclusive, with a maximum of four participants per group to ensure a personal and respectful experience.

To preserve the authenticity and integrity of the visit, these opportunities are carefully tailored for individuals who truly appreciate the importance of cultural preservation.
