    Explore the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio and toast the adventure with an enlightening tequila tasting. more...

    Explore the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio and toast the adventure with an enlightening tequila tasting. Although the ruins are comparatively small, they are significant as the site was once a pilgrimage destination. Worshippers came from all over the Yucatan peninsula to honor Ixchel, the Maya goddess of the moon, love and fertility. Excavations that began in the 1800s have unearthed several archaeologically important structures, including a square vaulted tomb, a large sanctuary known as the Upper House and a temple with red handprints on some of the interior walls. Centuries-old white stone roads and paths connect many of the buildings. The guide will describe the Mayan culture that thrived at San Gervasio until about 1600, when smallpox from the Spanish conquistadors devastated the population. To complement the experience, you will have the opportunity to sample three varieties of premium tequila infused with tropical flavors.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Walk through the ruins of a Mayan pilgrimage site dedicated to the goddess Ixchel.
    • Sample three flavored tequilas made on the Yucatan peninsula.
    • Enjoy a panoramic drive that focuses on the natural beauty along the coast.

    Savor a pairing of tacos and tequilas that highlights Mexico’s traditional food and spirit. UNESCO added Mexican cuisine to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity because it involves so many ritual practices, techniques and ancestral customs. The taste is even more impressive as you will discover by sampling three distinctly different types of tacos. Tacos Dorados are unique in that the corn tortillas are stuffed with spiced meat and then fried until crispy. Conchinita Pibil tacos originated on the Yucatan peninsula and feature juicy smoked pork topped with onions and achiote sauce. You will also likely sample Tacos de Guisado – the so-called King of Tacos – which are made with savory stewed ingredients ranging from steak to vegetables. The tacos will be thoughtfully paired with tequilas that complement their flavors. Silver tequila is usually among the choices as this clear, unaged or slightly aged spirit is known for its smooth, warm finish.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Sample three types of tacos that are representative of traditional Mexican cuisine.
    • Taste three different tequilas that demonstrate the spirit’s versatility.
