At the blissful W Punta de Mita in Riviera Nayarit, guests can take part in a cacao ceremony, an ancient ritual “honoring the Mayan ancestors of the region,” said Forbes . Cacao beans were sacred to the Maya, with chocolate considered food for the Gods, and this ritual is meant to stir “self-reflection and spiritual awakenings.”
