Cozumel at Night: Mayan Traditions, Candlelight & Legends

First we drive into San Miguel at sunset, when the square fills with local families, marimba and corn grilling on the corner — the town as the people who live here actually use it. Then into the jungle. You're handed your own candle and follow it to four stations waiting in the dark. Grind cacao on volcanic stone, from when it was money and not dessert. Meet bees that physically cannot sting and eat their honey with your fingers. Try a sugar cane drink you can't buy outside Yucatán. Press your own tortilla on a clay griddle over fire and eat the quesadilla while it's still too hot to hold. Every station has a legend. No stage, no costumes, no show. #1 rated operator in Cozumel on TripAdvisor. Door to door in our own van. Small groups, one departure a night. Kids welcome.
