At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in El Fuerte and head to a community of Mayo Indigenous Peoples to learn about this ancestral culture that calls the area between the south of Sonora and the north of Sinaloa home.

Upon arrival, we'll speak with residents of the community, who refer to each other as Yoreme, meaning "people who respect tradition". The first traces of settlement in the Yoreme region date back to 180 BC.

Next, some members of the community will show us how typical tortillas and antojitos are prepared. These corn-based foods are usually accompanied by a chili sauce and are eaten as an appetizer.

During our visit to this indigenous community, we'll also experience popular ancestral dances. We'll see how the Mayo/Yoreme use movement to describe the life and death of their culture's most sacred animal, a captivating experience.

After two hours, we'll finish the activity by saying goodbye at the meeting point in El Fuerte.
