I love Mexico! It's a pleasure to guide you! My name is Liliana, you can call me Lily. I'm from the state of Jalisco, born into a family of mariachi musicians, dancers, tradition, and lots of tequila. Making my dreams come true led me to live in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean 10 years ago, where I found my home among the jungle, the beautiful sea, the cenotes, and an incredible culture that has transformed my spirit. Traveling, singing, and dancing have been my path, leading me to live parts of my life in China and touring the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. I'm thrilled to be back where I find my roots now strengthened, grateful, and blessed by this lifestyle of mine. It's my fortune and profession to accompany you on the journey. Now, I embark on my own as a certified professional guide of private services, where I can create personalized experiences within gastronomic, sustainable, rural, inclusive, cultural, colonial, architectural, historical, and natural tourism. My goal is to take you through my eyes from the most emblematic sites to secret spots full of magic and breathtaking views, colors, and feelings that you'll treasure in your memory and remind you of cherished moments when you return home. I speak Spanish, and a bit of French, and I'm studying Maya language and Chinese. I dedicate myself to the industry of happiness! What more can I say? What are you waiting for, discover the Riviera Maya and its wonders! I hold a degree in Tourism from the University of Guadalajara. I've been an English teacher, entertainer, folkloric dancer, and singer as a cultural ambassador of Mexico abroad and on cruise lines. Certified tour guide by the Secretary of Tourism, since 2018. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
