While meandering through a cultural center, you will browse exhibits that depict the ancient Mayan way of life and hear theories as to why their advanced civilization declined. To enhance your understanding of the culture, you will be treated to a traditional Mayan dance performance, participate in Mayan ceremonies and taste a chocolate drink much like the ones the Mayas consumed as far back as 500 BC. An exploration of El Cedral, the site of Cozumel’s oldest Mayan ruins, will provide an even deeper immersion into the Mayan world. You will toast the experience with a tasting of tequila, an iconic Mexican spirit first produced in the 16th century. Then, it’s on to a nearby beach, where you can relax however, you see fit.
