Perfect start to our Valladolid trip - This bee tour was an incredible experience. The dry Cenote was cool to walk through and my family and I were able to observe the bees in their natural habitats. The honey tastings were delicious and were the perfect end to the tour.

Brilliant tour! - Really interesting and informative tour! Tasted some really delicious honey at the end as well, some types of honey I had never had before which was cool

If you like honey and want to learn from melipona bees, do not hesitate to visit Xkopek - We love honey, so in Valladolid we couldn’t stop taking this tour to meet the famous melipona bees of Yucatan and the truth was an experience where we learned a lot about these insects and their famous healing honey. From the beginning, the park is close to the center, so getting there is not complicated or expensive if you are going by taxi. They welcome you in a cabin in the middle of the vegetation and give you a first explanation about the particularities of the melipone bee spice and your guide explains in detail everything you see on the tour. From there you walk to a dry cenote that is a huge cave where you can see some wild honeycombs of meliponas and explain in detail with supports on a tablet the characteristics of each of the subspecies that are there. From there they take you around the park to the bee drawers where you can see them working on making honey and the explanation follows in detail. Finishing seeing the honey drawers, you arrive at the back of the cabin where you tast the various products and types of honey they collect, from pollen, concentrates and honey candy along with a delicious water sweetened also with the park product, which is included in the cost of $230 per person. Finally, the experience ends in the park shop where after understanding that this honey is special and more than a common sweetener is a natural medicinal remedy you can buy from tinctures to honey candy, through a wide variety of products. Melipone honey is not cheap, but its characteristics make it very valuable for health and we do not hesitate to buy several products to have the apothecary at home. The whole tour takes you about 1.5 to 2 hours and I understand that there are also campsites and cabins in this location to stay and offer breakfast or lunch with the tour, only we did not meet them on this occasion and we can not give our opinion on it. If you like nature, walking in the jungle and seeing insects in their natural environment, do not hesitate to take this tour, and if you are afraid of a bee sting remember that melipons have no sting, so no problem!

Who would have known bees could be so interesting - Whew, who would have thought bees could be so interesting. Great tour and wonderful place just to walk around. I recommend this place with no reservations

Go see the Mayan Bees! - This experience was delightful and educational. Highly recommend this tour of the bees in a dry cenote.

Worthwhile trip! - What a neat and informative tour. The grounds of the park are lovely and our guide was great, explaining and showing us the different types of melipona and their nest structures. The honey tasting was a lot of fun and the lunch was delicious! Thank you so much.

Ok, not great - A quick rattle round the site with a tasting afterwards. We didn’t stay for lunch and couldn’t use the credit in the shop. If you have done everything else in Valladolid then come here too because the guide was pleasant, but it’s not been a highlight of my holiday
