The Inlakech Experience Hall Grand Palapa is about 100 meters from the cabins deeper in the Mayan Jungle, all surrounded by trees—a few meters apart there are three bathrooms, sinks, and outdoor showers. A storage unit for yoga mats, a PA sound system, and more. The Grand Palapa is the center for medicine ceremonies, yoga, sound-healing, dance and all the healing activity at Inlakech. It can easily accommodate 150 people standing and 75 lying down for yoga or sound healing; its dimensions are 13 x13 meters and 12 meters in height, with four openings for light symbolizing the four directions. It is a typical Mayan construction raised above ground using Zapote beams and Tzalan-quality wood.

This structure is a hexagon open to the jungle with netting used for ceremonies, yoga, meditation, healing, and contemplation. In the beehive to your right is a Janzu pool, and to the left is a fire pit and the Sweat Lodge Temazcal.

Is a small Palapa and is used as a special meeting hang-out in the middle of the hustle and bustle. This small Palapa is the peacock’s favorite hang-out spot during the heat and at night they fly on top of its grass roof. This spot is often used as a coffee meeting spot, talking about life, review with the Mayan workers in the morning and make plans for the day.

The water Fountain creates relaxing sounds and helps maintains the equilibrium in the project

A full kitchen and dining area with sofas and hammocks is located between the cabins with a fireplace near it.

The Zula is an ideal place to chill, hang out, eat, and enjoy a cup of cacao or coffee while contemplating life with your friends.

The dimension is 5 meters in diameter and 1.40 meters deep, shaped after the Ayahuasca vine. It allows us to enter the womb and be reborn after challenging processes. When approaching from the Vila, the pool is located to the left of the bee Hive. To its right is the Temazcal, or the sweat lodge and fire pit.

At the project, there are three pools. (The therapeutic pool for Watzu is located deeper in the jungle. )

Two interconnected pools are closer to the entrance of the project. One pool represented by the masculine God ‘Hunab Ku’ and the other pool is represented by the Mayan Goddess, ‘Ixcel’. Both pools have waterfalls, and they are connected by an open tunnel continually circulating; creating dynamic, energetic protection and maintaining a powerful aesthetic and sensual feeling.

The fire Circle is used for gathering, singing around the fire, Kambo Sananga Rappe ceremonies, and a place to hang out. During retreats, the fire is burning 24/7 throughout

We are in the process of building our own Temazcal. The Temazcal can house up to 20 people and is made from Adobe.

Saul Fernanda, and Kassem occupy the Chacruna House, and the Doctor’s Office are great addition to the project. The Smaili family carry the day today duties of Project Inlakech daily, besides being the healers, teachers, and friends of the Inlakech Family. We are fortunate to have them.

The Café is built entirely from recycled bottles collected from the side of the road.

It is still under construction, and we plan to have it serving, healthy juices, cacao, snacks and Mayan baked goods.

Nestled in the jungle, the Zapote circle is a special place for group meetings and processing. Many hearts have opened in this place, many tears laughs and hugs.

In the center of the circle is a young Zapote tree representing endurance, strength, and perseverance.

Zapote is the most vigorous tree in the Mexican Jungle.

A few minutes walk, deeper in the jungle, there is a community cenote that radiates powerful energy.

We often visit it for ceremonies.

Cenotes are sacred natural water holes that are in abundance in the Yucatan peninsula.

The Tambo is a part of the Shipibo tradition, an isolated hut built deep in the jungle, used for contemplating and meditating.

Inside this little hut there is only a desk, chair, and a hammock. A good place to spend a night alone, exploring your fears and limitations.

This is the furthest point in the jungle we can access so far.

Although a yearly rain fall averaged of 1400 mm in the Yucatan jungle, most water percolate underground to join the largest underground river system in the world.

This leaves the wild animals with little access to water. That is why we have built a heart shape watering hole and a feeding alter to share with the animals our food and water abundance.

We grow our Ayahuasca and Chacruna.
