Aldea Yakunah was born in the heart of the Mayan jungle as a space for healing, learning, and community. Our mission is to honor ancestral wisdom, live in harmony with nature, and share transformative experiences that connect body, mind, spirit, and earth. Built with our own hands and inspired by the Mayan cosmovision, every palapa, altar, and path invites visitors to reconnect with themselves and the sacred rhythm of life. We envision a living village where the wisdom of the elders, the medicine of the jungle, and community life flourish together. Yakunah is a refuge of consciousness and transformation, offering ceremonies, rituals, and practical learning such as sowing, harvesting, and ancestral cooking. It is a legacy that inspires and awakens hearts to live in balance with Mother Earth
This is not just another tourist retreat; it is a living experience in the jungle. Aldea Yakunah is a sanctuary in the Mayan jungle, a natural space for introspection and connection with nature. Surrounded by the energy of the forest, it features eco-friendly cabins and traditional palapas. The retreat is held in small, intimate groups and includes a Full Moon Ayahuasca ceremony, preparation and integration circles, natural meals, and transportation from Cancún.

My visit to the Aldea
I was here for a week and I was alone and I had the opportunity to try different medicine. This service is very personalized and intimate. Everything is made in a conscious and authentic way to the ancestors. There no big groupes it was just me and I felt at home. I was amazed by the energy of this jungle and this family is just amazing people living and caring for your well being at all time .
I was comfortable in my little temple that Kaan Ixin made for me. Little detail that make your stay even more profound. What’s to say about the food ! We have a master chef at the aldea. So much intention is put into all the dishes that was cooked. I had a wonderful experience and this will change my life for ever and I will and hope to come again. Love ❤️
