About this tour
Step into the living heart of Maya civilization with a tour crafted for those who seek more than just ruins — you seek understanding, connection, and testimony. We begin at the walled seaside city of Tulum, one of the last great Maya strongholds, where Juan Carlos brings the cliffside temples to life through the lens of the Book of Mormon. Then journey inland to Cobá, where your group climbs the 42-meter Nohoch Mul pyramid, the tallest climbable pyramid in the Maya world. Lunch is served at a local restaurant before a refreshing swim in Tamcach-Ha Cenote, a sacred natural pool the ancient Maya regarded as an entrance to the underworld.
