Maya Ka’an is a unique destination for those who want to experience an immersive connection with nature and Maya culture.
The star of the region is the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, spanning thousands of hectares of jungle, mangroves, canals, and untouched beaches. In these stunning natural settings, travelers can observe jaguars, crocodiles, sea turtles, and more than 300 species of birds while exploring the crystal-clear waters of the Muyil canals, a historic location where the Maya once navigated for trade.
Located just two hours south of Cancun and near Tulum, this region combines pristine landscapes, biodiversity, and a deep bond with local communities.
In Maya Ka’an, Maya culture is still alive. Visitors can interact with local communities that preserve their ancestral traditions and customs. Felipe Carrillo Puerto, the historical heart of the region, was the Maya refuge during the Caste War and remains an important cultural center.
Here, you can visit the Sanctuary of the Talking Cross, a symbol of Maya resistance, or explore the Casa de la Cultura to learn more about the history and art of this people.
Additionally, the local cuisine, with dishes like tamalitos de frijol espelón or the traditional relleno negro, offers a glimpse into the flavors of the Maya milpa.
