Mayan Xcalak Beach Party Afternoon Tea
August 8 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
There is at least one beach town that has stayed small in Mexico, but you literally have to get off the beaten path to find it! Last Spring, Paul and I drove one and a half hours south of Tulum and went off grid for a week, in the simple fishing village of Xcalak. Xcalak is the most southern town in Mexico, on the Mexican Caribbean coast just near Belize. We enjoyed the lack of resorts, shopping and banks, and enjoyed the ecotourism. We then returned to Tulum and took a hands on cooking class at Rivera’s Kitchen. In Lily’s home kitchen, we explored traditional Mayan cuisine, preparing everything from scratch and gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s flavors. This late summer afternoon tea menu is inspired by our two weeks in this beautiful Caribbean area filled with colorful and delicious ingredients.
