The 2nd Mayan-Tibetan Encounter was a huge success, in part due to the amazing local social media influencers and photographers that Tweeted, Facebooked, Foursquared, photographed and blogged about the event.

We started out our day at Hacienda Tres Rios covering the moving Welcome Ceremony, where the Mayans welcomed the Tibetan Monks. This was the official beginning of the Mayan-Tibetan Encounter.

Next, it was on to the Mandala Opening Ceremony. Everyone was mesmerized by the monk’s chanting…the notes were so low we thought they were playing instruments.

We were starving now, so we headed to the Hacienda Grill for lunch, where we discovered the Alebrije (tamarind margarita)…delicious!

Then it was time for our Jaguar tour, where we would kayak in the nature park and then snorkel in one of Hacienda Tres Rios’ 10 cenotes.
