The serenity of paradise, its calmness, its exoticism. How many times have you imagined yourself there? In a dreamlike place, where peace converges with wild nature, forming a true miracle; where nature invades your five senses and makes you experience such pleasant and wonderful sensations that you can’t help but feel emotional; a place where, quite simply, you never want to leave.
All this and much more is what you will feel when you discover Huay Pix and Laguna Milagros, two must-see spots during your visit to the City. Nature has been very generous with the southern lands of the state of Quintana Roo, offering an inexplicable diversity that fully manifests itself in this beautiful region.
Huay Pix is a picturesque village located between Federal Highway 186 and Laguna Milagros. Many who have visited this paradise say they “arrived by chance” to one of the best vacation experiences of their lives. During your stay in Quintana Roo, set aside a day to discover this wonderful piece of heaven, located about 15 kilometers west of Chetumal.
Although the village is very small, you can find first-class hotels that will become the perfect haven to enjoy a few days of leisure and relaxation. The cabins with thatched roofs, rustic and exotic, rising along the edge of the turquoise blue lagoon are one of the best alternatives for the most discerning visitors.
The beauty of the place is inexplicable! The clear waters that form a perfect gradient between green and turquoise hues create almost imperceptible movements, while the tropical trees lean towards the water’s edge as if trying to drink from it, accidentally forming the most marvelous spots for resting. If you pay attention, you will surely spot a colorful iguana climbing the leaning trunks, perhaps searching for some fruit and adding even more wilderness to the typical scenery of Huay Pix.
What can you do here? A kayak ride is almost obligatory! You can also enjoy wonderful photo safaris during sunset, a time when the sun disappears behind the treetops of the low forest and manifests itself in every corner with orange and violet hues, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
“Hot, hot, hot, the temazcal is as warm as the womb of Mother Earth,” some say about the pre-Hispanic bath that you can also enjoy in Huay Pix. Do you know what it is? The temazcal is a sweat lodge, a powerful therapy that connects you with your inner self and the depths of the earth. Its benefits are fabulous: it stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins, accelerates circulation, and leaves your skin flushed, achieving a unique body balance; it also tones and cleanses the respiratory passages. Reproductive functions come back to life, and the female organs rejuvenate. Many couples use it to seek that long-desired baby that takes time to arrive. Do you feel encouraged to try this typical bath from pre-Hispanic peoples? Take the plunge!
In Huay Pix, the balance and diversity, along with the ancestral practices carried out by the Mayan peoples, will ensure that you return completely renewed from your vacation in the City and the region. Have fun!
