The Almuerzo Maya experience was wonderful. The food was simply delicious. It was amazing to see and learn about traditional Mayan cooking techniques. Unbelievable what can be prepared with such simple techniques. Jose and his beautiful family are the perfect hosts. I highly recommend this experience!
This was an amazing experience. The entrance and communication prior to arrival was great and everyone in my group (3 adults, two kids, and one baby) felt amazing and full afterwards. We arrived for the 10 a.m. Mayan cooking class and were celebrating our anniversary with this special experience. We felt connected to every portion of the cooking class and learned a lot about the history and traditions of this community. My husband said it was the most amazing experience of our whole Yucatán vacation. My children tried and ate everything. It was amazing. I 110% recommend booking a reservation for this experience. We paid our balance in cash and shopped their handmade clothes as well. We can't wait to return and check out their dinner and overnight accomodations in the future. We booked two weeks in advance and attended a Tuesday cooking class.
This was one of our top experiences in the Yucatan. We agreed that we could have spent more time there learning from Rosie and her family about the Maya, their traditional food and customs. It was just divine and we highly recommend the experience to anyone near and far. And of course the food was delicious. We left so content and our hearts full.
This was, without question, the absolute highlight of our trip to the Yucatán. It was an honor and a joy to spend time with this wonderful family and to learn from their wisdom. They taught us about their culinary traditions as well as about their plants and animals and the many ways they live in harmony with the natural environment. We left feeling deeply inspired.
We had the most lovely Mayan experience at Aldea X'batun. Friendly hosts, intimate, great food and a little insight in the authentic Mayan culture. Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me and my family.
Best experience ever!!
We were looking for a Mayan experience near Valladolid and Chichen Itza, and we decided to try the lunch experience with Aldea which is only 10 mins away Valladolid and we were very happy with the experience! We arrived and we had the whole place for ourselves, we ate the best Mexican food we ate in our 10 days trip and the experience was simply amazing. I really recommend this experience to everyone, group of friends, family, young couples, children..it is a 10 points!! We were very happy with our lunch and experience!
This is the best experiences of my vacation to Mexico! Real Mayan food, real family recipes, unbelievably good food!! You will be preparing and cooking the food and be part of the family! 110% must do if you love food and good people
We had an incredible time at our Mayan cooking class at Aldea Xbatun, it was the highlight of our trip to the Yucatan. Not only are the grounds peaceful and the food absolutely delicious, the family is so kind and welcoming. I cannot recommend this experience enough!
We went for dinner, it was a beautiful experience eating Mayan food, everything is handmade and sustainable, Doña Irma and Betty were very kind and warm. The food was delicious.
Great experience learning how to cook traditional Mayan. The hosts were very attentive and helpful. The whole experience was very thoughtfully organized and we learned a great deal.
