La Ventanilla Beach Winter Solstice Ceremony
Experience a Mexican Winter Solstice Ceremony
December 20
At 4 pm we'll pick you up at your hotel in Huatulco for a trip to La Ventanilla beach. Welcome to the wonderful winter solstice ceremony!
Once we arrive at our destination, they will explain to us what the celebration of the solstice is all about. In the northern hemisphere, it marks the change of season and the length of the nights, but in this town on the Oaxacan coast, it means the iconic beginning of a new cycle.
The shaman will guide us through a unique ritual, sharing the importance of this ceremony and its cultural impact. As well as that, on the beach, we'll release a turtle into the sea to the rhythm of the drums, bidding farewell to the sun with music and welcoming the longest night of the year. It will be an unrepeatable moment!
6 hours later, we'll take you back to your hotel in Huatulco.
December 21
At 3:30 am we'll leave early from your hotel in Huatulco and head to La Ventanilla beach, let's get going!
There you'll be greeted with drum music and conch shell sounds to begin the winter solstice ceremony. On the beach, we'll settle in to watch the sunrise and see how the sun crosses the famous Ventanilla rock.
After sunrise, we'll join the ceremony with the shaman and celebrate the beginning of the cycle with the children's cultural group of the town. Afterwards, we'll enjoy breakfast at a seaside restaurant before returning to the hotel in Huatulco. See you soon!
