ORIGIN
During the month of May, ancient cacao planters performed ceremonies dedicated to the god Chak Ek or Hobnil, offering sacrifices that symbolized the color and essence of cacao. These ancestral practices deeply shaped the way I understand spirituality and the sacred bond that Maya culture maintains with nature.
Muwan Travels was born from a personal dream that has accompanied me for years. I am Pilar, a PhD in Mesoamerican Archaeology and a guide, and I have been working for more than 17 years at the great archaeological site of El Mirador, deep in the Guatemalan jungle. From the beginning of my career, I dreamed of creating a travel company that would allow travelers to discover this extraordinary place in an authentic and profound way, guided by the direct experience of someone who has lived and worked there for decades.
