A sacred pilgrimage to rediscover yourself and the largest pyramid in the world.
A heart-opening and inner journey to the Mayan lost city of El Mirador @ Guatemala:
Specially curated for your personal development, leadership and spiritual renewal by mindfully engaging with the heart of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve magic (conservation and protected area) and the elite Kan Kingdom (or the Serpent Dynasty) with a series of empowerment and rewarding activities. A total disconnection with the modern world and a real connection with the ancestral one.
Connect with the life primary source, learn about yourself (on a higher and deeper level) as you walk, explore and challenge into the unknown of the mighty jungle and about the most important city of the great Maya civilization (actually its ancient headquarters), its flora, fauna, ancient, myths, ceremonies, traditions, the Mayan calendars, etc.
Immerse with the enigmatic Mayan lost city of El Mirador (one of the most powerful places of transformation on planet earth), experience bliss and cultivate joy during your journey and rediscover where one of humanity's greatest secrets is kept; the impressive Temple of La Danta (consider the biggest pyramid in Earth’s volume), and the site where it was created the first political state of all the Americas, and the first superhighway of the world.
Come fully as you are, travel with purpose and meaning and with your heart and mind open (ready to be expanded) and be receptive to all the life lessons that these sacred lands have for you. Be a positive change and feel good because with your presence you are supporting many noble causes that nowadays really matter.
HOW AND WHY WE DO IT?
Consciously engaging with sacred sites (where the ancient Mayans practiced techniques that transformed seekers into illuminated ones) and with a series of mindfulness activities was the primary reason for doing what we have been doing for about 20 years. This is how we get closer and connected with something bigger than ourselves (the Great Spirit, God or other ideas of higher forces).
We love our sacred work which we do with passion and meaning and because it is what motivates us in life and we started our own healing and transformational journey a long time ago in order to be able to provide this type of service.
At its core, we handcraft our experience designs with a holistic-wellness approach and framework and we co-create journeys that allow you, the residents you meet, and mother nature to create positive change and support the transformational economy.
Everything here at Maya Cosmos travel group is about inner work, purpose and leadership for personal development. We are here to grow together.

Your requirements and recommendations that facilitate entering fully into the experience:
Remember that the ultimate journey and last destination is you and only you, because everything else is just another beautiful background.
- Come as you are (as real as it gets): In an authentic and honest way, with all your ancestors, personalities, inner child, with all your spirits and with all your light and darkness (because everybody is welcome).
- With a higher purpose: Loving, healing, forgiving, peace, discovering, understanding, envisioning, feeling and connecting with the great spirit, the essence of your being, opening your heart and mind, diluting and controlling the ego, identifying and eliminating contents that cause suffering, and expanding your consciousness.
- With an attitude of trust and respect: Because it is sacred and very powerful, and confidence, to be in total harmony with yourself and with others (without any prejudice). How you approach the experience is another key element for its outcome, so we are going to mindfully educate and guide you.
- With empathy, compassion and cooperation: To connect humanly with others and allow mutual understanding, because we are all equal here with common goals and we are together in this experience.
- With preparation (body, mind & soul): As a total disconnection with the modern world, you are not going to have any kind of signal (internet or telephone) from the beginning until the end of the expedition (days 06 - 11) and a real connection with the ancestral world, where you have a much more profound connection. All your days are going to start from around 4:30 - 5:00 am, walking around 06 - 07 hours daily (approximately 27 – 32 km or 18 - 23 miles) with small breaks through the Mayan jungle's humid and flat paths with an average of 80% density and mixed topography.
- With the willingness to bridge the world's: To have a lasting effect in your life it is essential to extract and clarify the insights and teachings of your journey and ground them in your daily routine back home (for you and everything around you). In this way you can get the most out of the experience and manifest the life changes that you wish. We cannot ensure your transformation, but we can provide you with useful and practical tools for it (because at the end you are the one who decides).
