Visiting Tekit is a unique experience of gastronomic and cultural immersion, as this town preserves the essence of a true Yucatecan town where families keep the tradition of artisanal work alive. This tour includes a visit to a traditional orchard, as well as a meliponary, an apiary that houses melipona bees (stingless bees) that produce one of the most valued honeys in the Maya culture. In addition to this, we'll partake in a culinary workshop to prepare a traditional dish from this region, wonderfully complements this experience of authentic cultural immersion with the Mayans of present day. Book this tour for an authentic Yucatecan gastronomic immersion experience with millenary roots, and learn about melipona bees, the suppliers of a delicious honey valued by the Mayans of yesterday & today! *This tour can be done in French.
-After we've gathered, we'll travel to Tekit, a local mayan village an hour away from Mérida. -Once there, I'll introduce you to our Maya host, with whom we'll visit a mill and a fruit shop using a very local type of transportation to get immersed in the mayan village's lifestyle, getting to know the process to cook local corn and see the village's fruits and vegetables. -After this, we'll take a cooking workshop at the house of our Maya host family. -Later, while the prepared meal cooks, we'll enjoy the local fruits we picked. -Next, we'll visit a meliponary, which is an apiary that houses melipona bees (stingless bees) that produce one of the most appreciated honeys in the world. -After seeing the bees, we'll take another workshop, this time of handmade tortilla, to complement our lunch which will encompass an entrance, main course, dessert and non-alcoholic drinks. -It'll then be time to enjoy it! -At last, we'll visit Tekit square, to then drive back to finally drop you off.
