Hanaal Pixán, which in the Mayan language means "food of the souls," is a festivity that holds great respect for the departed. During these days, Mayan families prepare to welcome the souls of their loved ones by decorating altars with offerings, food, candles, and flowers, especially marigolds. Traditional dishes such as "pib," a tamale cooked underground, are essential parts of this tribute, symbolizing the bridge between the world of the living and the dead.
In Tulum, this ritual feels even more profound thanks to the special energy of the jungle and the Caribbean beaches that surround it. The natural environment of this destination becomes part of the ceremony, creating a serene and magical atmosphere to celebrate the cycle of life.
