Why Guatemala and the Mayan Territory?
Because it's definitely one of the most powerful places of transformation on planet earth! It is full of wild and lush nature, magic, hidden messages, and great life lessons for all those who visit them with their heart, mind, & eyes wide open.
The Mayan lands (or Mesoamerica) are the geographical territory and cultural space that occupied the most critical ancestral civilization in the entire continent of America; the Mayans. Going from the South of Mexico until the North of Costa Rica, being Guatemala, is heart, soul, and our home. The Mayan sacred sites have been carefully designed by enlightenment seekers a long time before us to foster divine consciousness. They act as a mirror to reflect society’s limitations of our true expression.
Perfect weather - wild & lush nature - high energy vibe - breathtaking landscapes - special location - convenience - exotic destination - lovely people - price - high quality - exquisite food - sacred & powerful sites - ancient wisdom & culture - idigenous - traditions & towns - and much much more ...
The Mayan lands remain one of the most exciting hidden treasures of planet earth, so discover its secret messages and learn its great life lessons.
