Offered in: English and 1 more

The Wixárika people are one of the Indigenous cultures originating in western Mexico, recognized for their profound spiritual relationship with nature, the land, and their ancestors. Their knowledge, ceremonies, symbols, and traditions have been passed down from generation to generation, keeping an important biocultural heritage alive.

You will take part in a Wixárika Blessing Walk, guided by Santos Hernández (White Deer), a local spiritual guide, where knowledge and tradition are shared in an authentic and respectful way.

During the journey, you will visit four sacred sites, each with its own meaning within the Wixárika worldview. There, you will not only learn about their relationship with the land and the spirit, but also participate in practices that honor the connection between nature, community, spirituality, and life.

What to expect

Your adventure begins at Shaman Restaurant, where you’ll meet your guides, Santos (White Deer) and Jair, who will welcome you and provide a brief introduction to the experience.

From there, you’ll walk through jungle, beaches, and gentle hills toward a sacred area home to four Sacred Places of great importance to the Wixárika community of Sayulita. Along the way, you'll learn about their history, culture, and worldview, as well as their deep connection with nature and the land.

This experience is the result of a collaboration between XIQUIAN and Santos, created to contribute to the preservation and transmission of Wixárika culture in Sayulita and to foster respectful cultural exchange.

We invited you to approach this experience with openness, and sensitivity, recognizing that the Wixárika worldview has its own beliefs and ways of understanding the world. Come to listen, learn, and respect a living tradition, while appreciating the community's deep relationship with its surroundings.
