The 5-Day Family Itinerary
Day 1 – The Whisper of Water Start your quest in a sacred cenote near Cancún. Explore the underground world and receive your first element — Water — along with the mission from the spirit of the Alux. Sleep under the stars in a jungle glamping camp near Tulum. Day 2 – The Breath of the Forest In Punta Laguna, swing across the canopy and solve nature-based clues. Meet a Mayan family, share a meal, and make your own coded bracelet. Return to your jungle base with a new element in hand — Air. Day 3 – The Fire Within Travel to the vibrant colonial city of Valladolid. Join a hands-on artisan workshop and visit a chocolate museum where a challenge awaits. If you succeed, you’ll unlock the Fire element. Day 4 – The Voice of the Earth Climb the ancient site of Ek Balam and gather the final clues. Later, take part in a cacao ritual in an eco-village and uncover the Earth element. The talisman is now complete. Day 5 – Awakening the Alux Reassemble the talisman, decode the final message, and complete your family's quest. A symbolic ceremony closes the journey. Return to Cancún in the afternoon, hearts full and memories made.
