Festival XibalBalam

The XibalBalam Festival is a celebration that merges the depth of the ancient Mayan worldview with contemporary expressions of music, art, dance, and spiritual tradition. Inspired by Xibalba, the fabled Mayan underworld, the festival invites participants to embark on an immersive experience that goes beyond entertainment—it's a collective ritual, a living bridge between worlds, and an offering to ancestral memory.

Throughout the festival, each space becomes a symbolic portal reflecting the nine levels of the underworld, brought to life through artistic installations, live performances, ancestral wisdom workshops, and sacred ceremonies led by keepers of Mayan knowledge. From the first drumbeat to the final dance under the stars, the spirit of the jaguar—Balam, guardian of the soul and the land—guides every step of the journey.

The XibalBalam Festival is not just an event—it's a sacred call to reconnect with the Earth, with the spirit world, and with our deepest cultural roots. A powerful moment to honor those who came before us, to heal from within, and to celebrate life from the depths of the soul.
