On October 19th and 20th, 2012 Sandos Caracol Eco Resort and Spa had the pleasure of hosting Jace Rivers, a US-based photographer, who visited Sandos Caracol to create a photo pictorial of the Xcalacoco Experience and our Mayan ceremonies.
An internationally award-winning photojournalist, Jace specializes in outdoor photography and has covered stories in over 40 countries. His photographs have been featured in publications such as National Geographic, Outside Magazine, AsiaSpa, Traveler, and Men’s Health.
Jace’s photos of Xcalacoco and the Mayan ceremonies will be featured in our in-room magazine and, later this winter, Sandos Caracol will offer selected prints for exhibition and sale in our guest relations area.
Sandos Hotels and Resorts will be publishing a full portfolio of this work in early November on a new website dedicated to our New Era celebration scheduled to take place on December 21-22, 2012. We look forward to sharing Jace’s work with our visitors, and are very honored to have worked with such a talented and dedicated photojournalist.

The wellbeing of body and soul also inspired the ancient ritual of Temazcal, called zumpul-che by the Maya, a steam bath with aromatic herbs. This practice has survived from the ages thanks to several native communities’ traditions. Its use is both therapeutic and relaxing as well as spiritual.
