Let a local guide help you plan your trip to Mexico

Start tailor-made trip

You will experience one of the ancestral rituals of the Hach Winik (“Lacandon Maya” in the native language) culture. Don Antonio Chankin, one of the oldest man of Nahá, will guide you through this experience. With his mayan chanting, his clay censers and the burning copal and xate palm, he’ll gives thanks, offerings and ask for protection to Hach Akium (one of the Mayan Lacandon gods). All of this will happen in his K’unah temple, and will result in a protection status for you and your loved ones. Enjoy the ceremony at Nahá.
