ACTIVITIES
Sierra Lago’s allure is both intangible and spellbinding. Each activity you encounter at this unique Mexican mountain retreat will leave you breathing more deeply, sleeping more profoundly and left with a more ardent appreciation of the outdoors. Explore our activities below to see what lies in store for you at Sierra Lago.

OUTDOOR JACUZZI AND STEAM ROOMS
You can enjoy a relaxing soak in the spa’s piping hot outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking a glorious view of the lake before heading to the steam room to detox your skin and get your blood circulating – or vice versa. Towels are provided.

Relaxing in the steam room and Jacuzzi is also recommended before indulging in a spa service, like a relaxing holistic massage or hot stone therapy (see price list*). Always remember to shower before and after using the Jacuzzi and steam rooms.

The steam room and spa Jacuzzi are scheduled for guests to use from 5pm – 7pm. To use the Jacuzzi and steam rooms outside these times, ask at reception for availability or reserve a spa service. Alternatively, use the Jacuzzi next to the heated infinity pool.

HEATED POOL TIME
The newest addition to Sierra Lago, the heated infinity swimming pool is a delightful feature to ensure your retreat in the Sierra Madre Mountains is totally idyllic. The warm temperature of the pool and steamy temperature of its adjoining hot tub are very tempting to contrast the often cool mountain air of Sierra Lago.

When the sun shines, you might also want to catch some rays lounging by the pool before engaging in more active pastimes at the resort & spa. There really is something for everyone at Sierra Lago.

AMATEUR FISHING
With a water surface of 24 hectares and depth that is unknown (due to how they can’t find its bottom!), Lake Juanacatlán at Sierra Lago is a great spot for recreational fishing. Experienced fishermen can borrow fishing rods and gear from reception, children will need to be accompanied by an adult. Fishing lessons can also be arranged.

As is customary, we ask you to return small fish to the lake and take only larger fish. Any fish that you catch can be prepared by Sierra Lago’s chef or taken home, as you wish.

PLANT A TREE
As part of our commitment to protect the environment and foster respect for nature, our plant a tree activity and on-going program is designed to contribute to the reforestation of the natural forest that surrounds Sierra Lago.

As well as being a fun activity, the program at large is intended to raise awareness of the need to plant trees and protect the world’s forests as a means of limiting desertification in vulnerable countries and ensuring the essential life-giving supplies of oxygen that our world’s forests bestow on the world.

Next time you visit Sierra Lago, you will be able to check on how quickly your tree has grown since your last getaway in the mountains.

FRUITY PRESERVE PREPARATION
A seasonal activity at Sierra Lago, learn how to preserve fruits the traditional way, following instructions from our chef in a delightful demonstration. Each year Sierra Lago enjoys abundant harvests of apples and peaches, amongst other fruits, which find themselves on the menu in various forms.

The excess fruits that hang on our trees are preserved into jams, compotes and a traditional Mexican preserve known as ate. Ate is best described as a hardened jelly, and is available on the menu throughout the year, customarily served with cheese. Take advantage of this year’s apple and peach harvests to enjoy a special demonstration, perfect for taking some tips back home.

HORSEBACK RIDING
Horseback riding for newbies and “old-hands” alike is set to enchant and captivate your imagination. Experienced riders can take one of our excellently groomed and cared for horses for a ride around the lake, or explore some of the woodland with a guide.

Children should be accompanied by an adult or escorted by a guide with horse in tow, all of which can be arranged by speaking to the stable-hand or activities team.

If you are wary of riding a horse but would like to try horseback riding for the first time, take a moment to visit the stables and get to know our horses before arranging to join a guide to take you on a round of the lake. We have some of the most friendly and well-kept horses; it would be a shame to miss out on meeting them.

CARRIAGE RIDE
Lake Juanacatlán is the perfect setting to take a dreamy horse-driven carriage ride. Frequently chosen as an enchanting addition for weddings at Sierra Lago, guests can enjoy a turn of the lake by horse and carriage daily from 10am – 5pm, making sure to inform Reception to reserve a place.

The horse and carriage will take you to the chapel and back, passing the Margaritas Games Room and many sculptures on the way. This is certainly one of the resort’s most magical activities you won’t want to pass up.

SPORTS FACILITIES
At Sierra Lago, there is no chance for you to get bored. If the bewitching surroundings were not enough to keep your hypnotized, then you may wish to enjoy some team sports or a game of tennis. Near the games room, you will find a multi-use court for tennis and basketball, while near the swimming pool and Terrace Restaurant, there is a soccer pitch.

FUN ON THE LAKE
One of the top attractions at Sierra Lago is the free use of non motorized water sport equipment for guests staying at the resort & spa. Spending some time having fun on Lake Juanacatlán is the perfect way to discover the true magic of Sierra Lago, whether trying your hand at paddle boarding, peddle-boating or kayaking.

All water sport equipment should be returned to the water’s edge near the Reception building when you have finished having fun on the lake, and is subject to availability. To make sure that everyone has a chance to use the equipment, intervals of 45 minutes are recommended during busy times.

Please use the life jackets provided and read the Lake Safety Rules on display alongside the equipment. We kindly advise you that swimming in the lake is not permitted for your own safety and you are asked to save swimming for our heated pool.

MOUNTAIN HIKE
For those in good shape and eager for an adventure into the Sierra Madre Mountains, our Mountain Hike activity that takes place every day (except Wednesdays) will get your blood pumping at high altitude and your limbs fully exercised.

The idyllic Mountain Hike is guided by an expert in the natural surroundings at Sierra Lago, who will lead you through the majesty of mother nature as far as La Bufa at the top of one of the most picturesque mountains.

The length of the hike will depend on the fitness of those who wish to take part in the free activity and can be made shorter to accommodate guests’ preferences, bearing in mind that it can be quite steep in places. Likewise, when planned previously with the guide, you can reach the top of the mountain by climbing, which will take about half an hour longer

On the Mountain Hike, you can expect to see a range of harmless wildlife, such as deer, rabbits, birds, red tailed eagles and woodpeckers and also enjoy extraordinary views of Mascota, Valle de Galope and volcanoes in the distance.

NIGHT WITH THE COSMOS
One of the stunning features of Sierra Lago is just how dark it gets at night. Far from the light contamination of urban areas, the stars and moon are impressively clear, even with the naked eye.

During our Night with the Cosmos activity, you will be able to use the telescope to take a closer look at the constellations and planets that make their transits across the heavens, as well as, the surface of the moon. Our guide will help you locate the planets that are visible and name the constellations that you can see.

This activity changes location and time depending on when and where the moon rises, as well as, the position of the most interesting planets – you will be informed by the activities team of the location each Thursday. Remember to bring a scarf for the cold and to protect your neck when looking upwards.

BIKE RIDE
Bikes are available for guests to use on the path that circuits the lake all day until nightfall. Delight in the cool mountain breeze blowing through your hair as you converse with nature on a leisurely bike ride, taking care when you see horseback riders or the horse and carriage.

Guests can borrow bicycles from the bike shed half way between the Reception building and swimming pool, next to the fire pit where the bonfire nights take place.

For the comfort and convenience of everyone, we ask you to return the bicycles to the shed once you have finished your bike ride, so that other guests may use them. If you have a problem with the bike chain, please inform a member of staff so we can fix it as soon as possible.

In the heart of Puerto Vallarta lies a destination that defies comparison – Casa Kimberly – a luxurious love story.

The former homes of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton combine to create nine suites, a spa, pool, open-air dining, tequila bar and the preserved Puente Del Amor (Bridge of Love). Lovers, artists and adventurers are invited to fall in love again.

Our Story
HISTORY BEGINS IN 1962

Overlooking the sparkling waters of Banderas Bay and the red clay-rooftops that dot the Sierra Madre Mountains, the setting is irresistible.

Its little wonder that screen legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, as famous for their passionate romance as for their award-lavished movies, chose the casitas that now comprise Casa Kimberly as their beloved home-away-from-home.

The luxurious nine-suite boutique hotel, with an open-air rooftop restaurant, tequila bar, pool and an intimate spa, was lovingly created from the quaint side-by-side houses once owned by the star-crossed couple.

Casa Kimberly’s history begins in 1962, when Burton came to the sleepy fishing village of Puerto Vallarta to star in director John Huston’s classic The Night of the Iguana.

Burton and Taylor had met a few years before, on the set of Cleopatra, and were in the whirl of a scandalous romance—she was still married to Eddie Fisher, he to Sybil Williams.

GUEST SUITES
Casa Kimberly’s suites, including the grand and luxurious Elizabeth Taylor Suite, her personal quarters, are each uniquely designed with a mix of modern amenities and traditional Colonial style.

Most rooms boast sweeping views of the Banderas Bay below, the Sierra Madre Mountains behind and the charming cityscape all around.

Indulgent baths, some with claw foot tubs, others with rain showers backed by striking tile walls under domed brick ceilings or hand-painted murals are each individually and opulently designed. Most suites also enjoy private Jacuzzi tubs discreetly set on terraces with breathtaking views.

Elizabeth Taylor Suite
The Elizabeth Taylor suite, accessed via a private elevator or hand-painted tile steps leading from the central courtyard, is a more than 2500 square-foot sanctuary of tranquil opulence.

The wrap-around terrace, completely secluded, has its own pool and Jacuzzi, and offers panoramic views of the sparkling waters of Banderas Bay and the majestic Sierra Madre mountains, just as Taylor and Burton would have seen them.

Over the magnificent Mexican Colonial style bed, a Swarovski crystal chandelier illuminates the hand-painted winged cherubim gracing an elegant dome.

The bath, nearly as spacious as the bedroom, features the original pink-marble heart-shaped tub that Taylor commissioned for Casa Kimberly. (Perhaps the result of a translation glitch, the tub arrived in the amorphous shape of real heart rather than as a symmetrical Valentine.)

Marble pillars and the stairs leading to the raised tub add a regal note to this exquisite aerie.

The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar

Casa Kimberly’s open air restaurant, The Iguana, overlooks the city of Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay and serves contemporary Mexican cuisine in an elegant but informal ambience.

Retractable walls take advantage of gentle coastal breezes and crystal chandeliers add soft light while water dances in the adjacent courtyard fountain. The dining room wraps around to an outdoor patio with shady palms and another central fountain.

In between is nestled the boutique Tequila Bar, serving a wide array of top flight tequilas and mezcals, all made within driving distance of Casa Kimberly in the legendary region of Jalisco.

Executive Chef Jesus Suastegui has created a menu blending traditional Mexican dishes with modern culinary influences. Fresh, local and seasonal are his guiding principles.

The Iguana Tequila Bar specializes in the region’s best tequilas and mezcals. With several dozen top flight and often rare labels, this is a tequila aficionado’s dream. Resident tequila experts can help acquaint newcomers to the heart and soul of this beloved spirit.

A full bar and wine list including some renowned Mexican labels are also available. House specialty cocktails take advantage of local fruits, herbs and spices to create a uniquely enticing selection.

SPA
The CK spa comprises two spacious treatment suites with private Jacuzzis. Each suite accommodates up to two guests for a romantic and indulgent experience of healing and relaxing treatments.

Appointments are customized to each individual guest. Skin care, nail care, body treatments, specialty spa baths featuring curative infusions, aromatherapy and more soothe the body and calm the mind. In suite appointments available upon request, as well.

Characteristics such as ornate detailing around the windows of the facade and a stone-forge staircase with intricate handrails sit alongside red volcanic rock walls and handmade cement tiles. The 17 rooms and suites possess a stripped-back, bohemian-chic elegance.

Located in the central balcony of the palace of the countess of Miravalle, is the breakfast patio and lobby of downtown. A unique space that let you enjoy the 17th century colonial architecture and the fresco ‘the holocaust’, of muralist manuel Rodriguez Lozano. In this area guests can enjoy breakfast and access to their rooms.

The large terrace has spectacular views of the skyline of the historic center, with its churches, Torre Latinoamericana and the Casino Español, among others. It is the perfect place to hold events and to relax with a drink. The pool terrace has a pool, a jacuzzi and a bar that let you enjoy the best views and the best weather.

TULUM
Tulum is a unique destination, effortlessly combining laid back hippie vibes with world class gastronomy and mixology and all with the mesmerizing backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. Here you can lose yourself in a secluded and relaxing atmosphere, just minutes away from archaeological sites, lush jungle, amazing lagoons and hidden cenotes.

By far one of the hottest spots of the world for your wanderlust bucket list, offering a wide range of adventure, self-pampering and cultural experiences to welcome any kind of traveler, whether you are looking for a fun tropical vacation with your children or a romantic escapade with your loved one.

COBA
Coba site is a 40 minute drive inland from Tulum and well worth the visit. Unlike most archaeological sites on the Yucatan Peninsula, Coba is in the middle of dense jungle giving a different experience.

Here you can still climb the main pyramid, Nohoch Mul, the highest pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula. We recommend to hire a bike once inside the site to zoom around the jungle paths discovering the pyramids, the ball court and the observatory.

MUYIL
Located 25 km south of Tulum, the Muyil archaeological ruins are located on the inland side of the Sian Ka’an biosphere. This visit can be combined in a tour where you can float down an ancient mayan canal once used by trading boats visiting the city.

CHICHÉN ITZÁ
The most famous of the sites as it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Count on a long journey (2.5-3 hours each way) but well worth it for this incredible site.

Chichén Itzá shows evidence of a dazzling ancient city that was once one of the main centers of the Mayan empire. Visit during the equinox and you can see the snake shadow moving down the stone stairs of the huge main pyramid.

EK-BALAM
This lesser known site around 1.5-2 hours drive from Tulum is one of our favorites. You will want to check out the wall paintings in the Acropolis building. Only the center of this site has been excavated so far, so new discoveries are still being made!

CENOTES
Part of an extensive underground river system, cenotes are sinkholes in the limestone that allow access to the fresh water below. Swimming, snorkeling, and diving are popular ways to explore these interesting natural formations.

Some cenotes are more like swimming holes exposed at the land surface whilst others are hidden underground deep within the jungle helping you realize why the ancient Mayans believed that the cenotes were portals to the underworld.

Most day tours include at least one cenote visit for a quick and refreshing dip but you can also visit the cenotes by yourselves no problem. Some of the best ones are as close as a 10-15 minute drive from the hotel.

GUIDED TOURS
From Tulum there are so many wonderful areas to explore doing day trips as an independent traveller, however there are also many half and full day professional tours available to make things easy for you.

Being on a guided tour has its advantages of having a professional multilingual guide explain the details and history of the cenotes or the ruins or the jungle flora and fauna that you might otherwise miss.

Lunch and refreshments are always provided and some tours even visit a local Mayan village where you can experience the local food. Plus being on a guided tour means you can sit back and enjoy the scenery whist someone else drives for you.

SCUBA DIVING & SNORKELING
Whether you’ve got hundreds of dives recorded in your log book or you’re interested in becoming certified as a beginner, the Tulum area is the perfect place for all of your underwater adventures. The Caribbean Sea is teeming with life, and the reefs just off Tulum’s white sand beaches are home to fish like grouper, small reef sharks and numerous colorful fish.

Sea turtles abound here, and if you visit during the summer months you’ll have the option to go on a snorkelling trip to swim with the migrating whale sharks! Snorkelling or diving in the cenotes is also a fantastic way to explore these underground cave and river systems and is an experience you’ll not soon forget.

KITEBOARDING & SURF IN TULUM
If you’ve ever wanted to try this thrilling sport why not do so on your next visit to Mi Amor? The local experts at Extremecontrol.net have all of your kite boarding needs covered, and they offer lessons and rentals for SUP equipment as well. To top it all off these guys hold most of their kite boarding activities at a private beach just north of the Tulum ruins.

This means that you won’t be dodging swimmers or boats while you’re whipping across the Caribbean Sea! They also do trips to the northern Yucatan coast where the cross shore winds are just perfect for beginners and experts alike. Ever tried yoga classes on a SUP? Tulum is just the place to try! Let us know and we will take care of it for you.

BIRDWATCHING
You need not leave the comfort of your sun lounger to have some incredible sightings of pelicans and other seabirds prowling the waves for tasty fish, but if you’re interested in discovering more about the various species of birds in the Yucatan your choices are many.

Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve is just minutes from Mi Amor and features some of the best bird watching in the world. You can take a hike on your own through this incredibly unique landscape, or you could join a tour that focuses on the many diverse bird species that call this area home.

The Rio Lagartos Biosphere is also just a few hours drive away and is home to the largest Flamingo breeding ground in the Americas.

FISHING
The Mayan Riviera is home to some of the best sport fishing in the world. Professional and amatuer anglers come from every corner of the world to fish for grouper, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and marlin, some of which have been known to top 500 pounds.

Charter a fishing boat for an incredible family or group fishing adventure, or, for something a little calmer, try your hand at fly fishing at one of the local estuaries.

NATURE PARKS
The nature and eco parks in the Tulum/ Riviera Maya area are a great way to spend the day. Especially with the kids. There are many to choose from, each providing a slightly different experience.

Floating down water canals, exploring into caves, seeing turtles, snakes, monkeys, sting rays, dolphins and crocodiles up close, snorkeling in protected inlets where fish are plenty, seeing the ancient Mayan dances and rituals and ball games, exploring the ancient ruins. If this sounds like a great day to you, then let our concierge provide you with more details so you can choose the best park to visit.

SHOPPING IN TULUM
From designer boutiques to local crafts Tulum offers incredible shopping opportunities that are perfect for local souvenirs and more. Spend a day browsing the collections of local shop owners to find the perfect item to commemorate your stay in Tulum.

Local artisans work with clay, wood, and handmade textiles to create treasures that pay homage to the Mayan people. Choose one or more of these treasures to add to your home’s decor or as gifts for the special people in your life. For a more western shopping experience Playa del Carmen is just 45 minutes from Tulum and features well known shops and brands.

The pop up has been so popular it is now in its sixth year and a staple in the Tulum scene and has just been nominated for Best International Hotel Bar in Tales of the Cocktail 2020 Spirited Awards (the Oscars of bars/bartending).

Jasper Soffer knows that a hot day at the beach calls for a cool, craft cocktail to complete the experience. Bringing back his internationally acclaimed Mulberry Project and its team of cocktail masters to Colibri Boutique Hotels La Zebra for the sixth year, Soffer is excited to create even more creative and personalized beverages for the hotel’s guests.

CHEF
Chef Eleazar Bonilla was raised in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico by a mother who was an exceptional cook and baker and a father who was a ‘tortillero’. As a child, Eleazar was delighted in classic Mexican ‘antojitos’ prepared by his parents – sparking a life-long love for Mexican food.

At the age of 8, frustrated with the food he was served while his parents were at work, Eleazar began to follow recipes found in his mothers cook books and culinary magazines.

MIXOLOGIST
Jasper Soffer, master mixologist, has had a career in the bar industry as interesting and as lauded as the cocktails that he creates. Jasper began his career in London at the ShoChu Lounge and his Asian inspired cocktail menu was heralded by Time Out Magazine five times during his tenure at this London hot spot.

He then moved to New York working in venues such as Spice Market and the legendary SoHo House, an exclusive, members-only club and hotel. During his tenure at the SoHo House Jasper was asked to join the Pegu Club by its founder Audrey Saunders, widely recognized as the leader of the high-end bar industry.

Enjoy live Latin music, or perhaps try some of Mulberry’s cocktails or special Mezcals to get the Mexican fiesta started!

PRIVATE EVENTS

The rooftop is equipped with all services required to host Wedding Rehearsal Dinners, Corporate Events, Birthdays, Wine Tastings, Product Launches, etc. Catering for up to 100 guests.

RUINS
The ruins of the ancient Mayan people have lured adventurous souls for decades, and a visit to one or more of these beautiful sights is a must during your stay.

TULUM
Just a few minutes bike ride from La Zebra, the Tulum site holds the honor of being the most picturesque archaeological site in the Riviera Maya and the only one to have been built overlooking the ocean. A visit here offers spectacular views of the Riviera Maya beaches, Caribbean Sea and surrounding coastal region.

COBA
Coba site is a 40 minute drive inland from Tulum and well worth the visit. Unlike most archaeological sites on the Yucatan Peninsula, Coba is in the middle of dense jungle giving a different experience.

Here you can still climb the main pyramid, Nohoch Mul, the highest pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula. We recommend to hire a bike once inside the site to zoom around the jungle paths discovering the pyramids, the ball court and the observatory.

MUYIL
Located 25 km south of Tulum, the Muyil archaeological ruins are located on the inland side of the Sian Ka’an biosphere. This visit can be combined in a tour where you can float down an ancient mayan canal once used by trading boats visiting the city.

CHICHÉN ITZÁ
The most famous of the sites as it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Count on a long journey (2.5-3 hours each way) but well worth it for this incredible site.

Chichén Itzá shows evidence of a dazzling ancient city that was once one of the main centers of the Mayan empire. Visit during the equinox and you can see the snake shadow moving down the stone stairs of the huge main pyramid.

EK-BALAM
This lesser known site around 1.5-2 hours drive from Tulum is one of our favorites. You will want to check out the wall paintings in the Acropolis building. Only the center of this site has been excavated so far, so new discoveries are still being made!

CENOTES
Part of an extensive underground river system, cenotes are sinkholes in the limestone that allow access to the fresh water below. Swimming, snorkeling, and diving are popular ways to explore these interesting natural formations.

Some cenotes are more like swimming holes exposed at the land surface whilst others are hidden underground deep within the jungle helping you realize why the ancient Mayans believed that the cenotes were portals to the underworld.

Most day tours include at least one cenote visit for a quick and refreshing dip but you can also visit the cenotes by yourselves no problem. Some of the best ones are as close as a 10-15 minute drive from the hotel.

GUIDED TOURS
From Tulum there are so many wonderful areas to explore doing day trips as an independent traveller, however there are also many half and full day professional tours available to make things easy for you.

Being on a guided tour has its advantages of having a professional multilingual guide explain the details and history of the cenotes or the ruins or the jungle flora and fauna that you might otherwise miss.

Lunch and refreshments are always provided and some tours even visit a local Mayan village where you can experience the local food. Plus being on a guided tour means you can sit back and enjoy the scenery whist someone else drives for you.

SCUBA DIVING AND SNORKELING MEXICAN CARIBBEAN
Whether you’ve got hundreds of dives recorded in your log book or you’re interested in becoming certified as a beginner, the Tulum area is the perfect place for all of your underwater adventures.

The Caribbean Sea is teeming with life, and the reefs just off Tulum’s white sand beaches are home to fish like grouper, small reef sharks and numerous colorful fish. Sea turtles abound here, and if you visit during the summer months you’ll have the option to go on a snorkelling trip to swim with the migrating whale sharks!

Snorkelling or diving in the cenotes is also a fantastic way to explore these underground cave and river systems and is an experience you’ll not soon forget.
Your hotel Concierge will be able to book you with a trusted and reliable dive school.

KITEBOARDING AND SURF IN TULUM
If you’ve ever wanted to try this thrilling sport why not do so on your next visit to Tulum? The local experts at Extremecontrol.net have all of your kite boarding needs covered, and they offer lessons and rentals for SUP equipment as well.

To top it all off these guys hold most of their kite boarding activities at a private beach just north of the Tulum ruins. This means that you won’t be dodging swimmers or boats while you’re whipping across the Caribbean Sea!

They also do trips to the northern Yucatan coast where the cross shore winds are just perfect for beginners and experts alike. Ever tried yoga classes on a SUP? Tulum is just the place to try! Let us know and we will take care of it for you.

SHOPPING IN TULUM
From designer boutiques to local crafts Tulum offers incredible shopping opportunities that are perfect for local souvenirs and more. Spend a day browsing the collections of local shop owners to find the perfect item to commemorate your stay in Tulum.

Local artisans work with clay, wood, and handmade textiles to create treasures that pay homage to the Mayan people. Choose one or more of these treasures to add to your home’s decor or as gifts for the special people in your life.

For a more western shopping experience Playa del Carmen is just 45 minutes from Tulum and features well known shops and brands.

COOKING CLASSES
If you are in the mood to learn how to cook Mexican the way the locals do it then leave your Tex Mex ideals at home and book in at Lina’s Mexican Kitchen. Lina’s dedication to all things Mexico make this a must for anyone wanting to learn the tricks from a real Mexican Chef.

She and her sister Miriam are wonderful hosts and will guide you through some wonderful traditional Mexican recipes in a lovely purpose built kitchen above Lina’s house. You make it, you eat it and you leave with a little recipe book so that you don’t forget it! Its lots of fun…trust us!

BIRDWATCHING
You need not leave the comfort of your sun lounger to have some incredible sightings of pelicans and other seabirds prowling the waves for tasty fish, but if you’re interested in discovering more about the various species of birds in the Yucatan your choices are many.

Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve is just minutes from La Zebra and features some of the best bird watching in the world. You can take a hike on your own through this incredibly unique landscape, or you could join a tour that focuses on the many diverse bird species that call this area home.

The Rio Lagartos Biosphere is also just a few hours drive away and is home to the largest Flamingo breeding ground in the Americas.

FISHING
The Mayan Riviera is home to some of the best sport fishing in the world. Professional and amatuer anglers come from every corner of the world to fish for grouper, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and marlin, some of which have been known to top 500 pounds.

Charter a fishing boat for an incredible family or group fishing adventure, or, for something a little calmer, try your hand at fly fishing at one of the local estuaries.

NATURE PARKS
The nature and eco parks in the Tulum/ Riviera Maya area are a great way to spend the day. Especially with the kids. There are many to choose from, each providing a slightly different experience.

Floating down water canals, exploring into caves, seeing turtles, snakes, monkeys, sting rays, dolphins and crocodiles up close, snorkeling in protected inlets where fish are plenty, seeing the ancient Mayan dances and rituals and ball games, exploring the ancient ruins.

If this sounds like a great day to you, then let our Concierge provide you with more details so you can choose the best park to visit.

MAYAN JUNGLE & MONKEY ADVENTURE
This is an experience for nature lovers. Explore the monkey reserve of Punta Laguna by canoe where you can also enjoy a swim. You’ll have a guided walk with a biologist through a beautiful forest where some ruins have been found.

On this walk you will likely see spider monkeys, maybe howler monkeys and lots of other animals. We will visit a mysterious cave, a door towards the underworld. After enjoying a local snack, we will head back towards Tulum with a cooling stop at a beautiful little cenote before heading back towards your Hotel.

MEXICAN FLAVORS
Do you know the secrets of Mexican cuisine? Do you know everything about Mezcal? If your answer is no, this class will teach you about all. Sam Jimenez will make you an expert about Mezcal and will teach you how to prepare amazing cocktails with this, the most authentic Mexican spirit.

With Sra. Lina you will prepare authentic Mexican dishes from scratch, dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation. All is fresh and all is hand made. Lots of fun is guaranteed.

You will certainly impress your family and friends with your newly gained knowledge of what true Mexican cuisine and drink is all about.

MAYAN IMMERSION
With this tour you take a deep dive into the Yucatan Peninsula. Start the day with having a rich local breakfast on the way. We head directly to Yal Koba where you will discover the village and its historical church.

From there, we visit two beautiful cenotes. A short walk through the forest takes us to one of them. Newly refreshed, and after a short ride, we will enjoy a pib (underground oven) and gorditas in the house of Sra.

Filomena where you will experience Mayan customs and gastronomy. Fortified from our lunch, we will explore the amazing remains of Ek Balam. Many say that this is the most beautiful archeological site on the peninsula.

Let us know what you think. On the way back to Tulum, we make a short stop in Macario Gomez where you can shop some local handicrafts such as dreamcatchers. We will be back at the hotel at around 6:30pm with many memories to cherish.

SIAN KA´AN BIOSPHERE FIRE & WATER
For this trip, you’ll wake up very early, but it’s worth it, we promise! After a one-hour ride, you will enjoy one of the Sian Ka’an’s most impressive sights, the Muyil Lagoon that just started to shine in the morning sun.

We will take a short walk through the forest, after which you will climb an observation tower for a view over the entire lagoon and the treetops. Our guide, Fernando, will point out birds and other animals that you most likely wouldn’t discover on your own.

The morning time is the most active time for many birds. Re-energize yourself with a typical Yucatecan breakfast at an intimate, local restaurant. You will return to your hotel around noon.

MAYAN TEMAZCAL
Resembling entry into Mother Earth’s womb, the Mayan Temazcal Ceremony offers an opportunity to cleanse your body and mind.

Using steam and the knowledge of ancestral rocks and their power, the Temazcal experience utilizes chamomile, eucalyptus and lavender to effect inner cleansing. A side benefit of beautiful silky skin is guaranteed.

MAYAN DISCOVERIES
Visit one of the most beautiful archeological sites in Mexico, beautifully set in a lush jungle just one hour from Tulum.

You might get sweaty when climbing Nohoch Mul (voluntary), the second tallest pyramid on the Yucatan Peninsula; that’s why we bring you to a beautiful hidden cenote afterwards to refresh and to explore the underworld of the Yucatan.

After that, we visit the family of Sra. Catalina where she has prepared a special feast for us, a pib, an amazing chicken cooked under ground. Have you ever heard of the Meliponas? An endemic and sacred species of bees that don’t sting but produce amazing honey?

If you like you can harvest some honey yourself. On the way back to Tulum, we make a short stop in Macario Gomez where you can shop local handicrafts like dreamcatchers. Enjoy the late afternoon back in your hotel with a cocktail or swim, or just relax on a lounger.

YUCATAN SOUND HEALING
If you love relaxing and experiencing new things, this might be an experience you are looking for. Enjoy the sound of the jungle and finish the day with the sound of cristal bowls overlooking the jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula.

You can hardly believe what is unveiled: lush gardens, dozens of shades of green among trees, plants and flowers.

A pristine pool. And in the background, one of the best views of the beautiful El Tepozteco mountain range, mystical nature that starts you on a journey of self-knowledge, relaxation, romance and tranquility.

At the Spa, the Temazcal reunites you with Mother Earth, affirming your most essential connection. The main house and the restaurant confirm that by staying at Amomoxtli you are enjoying the most authentic hotel in Tepoztlan. Amomoxtli is a hotel only for guests over 13 years of age and we do not accept pets.

Amomoxtli was born from a heart longing and the original house is proof. We welcome our guests as at home, the house is the meeting point and an ideal place to have a drink and enjoy this hotel in Tepoztlán. Discover its bar, the library, the terrace and the living room, to have an authentic home in the country experience.

The gardens of Amomoxtli, our beautiful hotel in Tepoztlán, you will find plants endemic to the region, such as ahuehuete or amate trees; an important selection of cacti, bougainvillea and various herbs that we use in our kitchen and in the treatments of our Spa and Temazcal.

We have the pool with the most spectacular view of the Tepozteco, amid our garden’s relaxing atmosphere and the joy of silence and nature’s music. Our pool is heated and has two whirpool baths, comfortable chaises, pool bar and restaurant service during the day.

Amomoxtli has the vocation to celebrate regional cuisine. Mesa de Origen, the restaurant in Tepoztlán, is faithful to our philosophy of honoring local culture, we use only regional products and recover the town’s homemade recipes.

All the dishes are based on ingredients from the State of Morelos and local produce found on the market. For our guests, local cocktails, wood-fired pizza and regional fare are served on the pool area.

Our Spa in Morelos has recovered ancestral techniques, the teachings of local grandparents, using native herbs and therapists with ample experience that integrate Tepoztecan hedonism, balance and beauty.

At Mesa de Origen, our restaurant in Tepoztlán, we use only ingredients from Morelos. Many of them are the day’s produce in the village market. We rescued ancestral family recipes and used traditional cooking methods such as tlecuil and the wood oven, to fill our kitchen with those aromas and flavors that remind us of our childhood.

It is finding joy in simple things. We understand the life cycle of production, the relationship between the seasons, the land, the seed and the territory. The dishes, the architecture and the service make Mesa de Origen one of the best restaurant options in Cuernavaca and its surroundings.

Morelos is a state rich in culture and history. Gastronomy is a reflection of such wealth: mushrooms when in season, Cecina salted meat, and corn, which is grown in all areas of town, including the communal lands of Tepozteco neighborhoods, have its roots in the pre-Hispanic past.

Our restaurant in Tepoztlán, a magical town of Morelos, honors this wealth, from which dozens of delicious dishes are born, such as pepita mole, Coatetelco bream, mole from Tlayacapan, tamales with coral tree flower and the delicious itacates (corn empanadas) of Tepoz.

SPA & MYSTICISM
For decades, Tepoztlán has been a magnetic pole for awareness and spiritual growth. Many consider that the mystical energy that is felt in this magical town of Morelos, is due to its subsoil’s mienrals, as well as to the imposing mountains of El Tepozteco range, that invite introspection and discovery.

The land where this hotel and spa in Tepoztlan was built has amazing vitality, which contributes to the regeneration of our guest’s energy. Our therapies, ceremonies, wraps, energetic cleanses, temazcal baths, yoga and energetic arts classes will lead you to feel all the energetic benefits of this mystical place.

The Spa at Amomoxtli absobs the beauty of our gardens, the Earth’s and the Tepozteco’s energy and the flowing of the rivers to take our guests on a journey of therapies ranging from Tepoztecan hedonism, the search for balance, the rediscovery of our origins and all the benefits of wellbeing.

Our Wedding Planner can organize a shamanic spiritual union, a traditional ceremony and an unforgettable party, respecting the local customs and creating for the bride and groom a celebration where every detail is supervised with love and dedication.

TEPOZTLÁN
A maiden saw a feather drop softly on the floor. Without thinking, she put it in her womb. It did not come from a bird, but from one of the Mexica deities, who magically created a child in her womb. Thus was born the lord of Tepozteco, a semi god who

protected his people from various invasions. Its gallant figure cut in the mountain receives inhabitants and travelers, in his honor the pyramid of the Tepozteco was constructed and is known like Ometochtli-Tepoztécatl, the one of the iron ax.

HISTORY
Tepoztlán has been populated since at least 1,500 years before Christ and later, by Xochimilca, Tolteca and Chichimeca cultures. The Spaniards built one of the most beautiful convents in the center of the country, ruled by Dominican friars and later Franciscans.

WHAT TO DO IN TEPOZTLAN

SANTO DOMINGO CHURCH
Gorgeous Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures.

Most elaborate of all is the 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) on the south side. The whole church takes on a magically warm glow during candlelit evening Mass. Santo Domingo was built mainly between 1570 and 1608 as part of the city’s Dominican monastery, with the finest artisans from Puebla and elsewhere helping in its construction.

Like other big buildings in this earthquake-prone region, it has immensely thick stone walls. Santo Domingo de Guzmán (1172−1221), the Spanish monk who founded the Dominican order, appears as the right-hand one of the two figures holding a church in the center of the facade, and his elaborate family tree adorns the ceiling immediately inside.

The Dominicans observed strict vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, and in Mexico they protected the indigenous people from other colonists’ excesses.

20th NOVEMBER MARKET
The 20th November market (Mercado 20 de Noviembre) in Oaxaca City centre is a must see, especially if you are hungry! The sights and smells of 20th November market are captivating especially if you haven’t visited a market in Oaxaca before.

The 20 de Noviembre market has a variety of food stalls where you can sample many Oaxacan specialties, but carnivores flock to the one corridor that’s known as “El Pasillo de las Carnes Asadas” (the grilled meats aisle).

Follow your nose to find it: smoke and the smell of meat grilling are thick in the air. You can select the raw meat that looks best to you and have it grilled to your specifications as you watch on. Find a spot at one of the long tables with benches and order salsa and guacamole to accompany your feast. Buy some tortillas from one of the passing vendors, and enjoy!

However is not all about grilled meat; there are many other foods available to buy there too, such as mole, empanadas etc. There is also the usual market merchandise that is typical to all markets in Oaxaca, dried chilies, vegetables, artisans etc. This market has the impression of merging with the Benito Júarez market as one is in front of the other.
