The Jungle Market...






One of the most fun things to do in Puerto Morelos is go the Jungle Market. The market itself has wonderful food, crafts, jewellry, clothing and hand made things for sale. Then there is a performance by the Mayan women which demonstrates the life of the Mayans.


The women dance several dances....all significant in the culture. This is the goddess Ixchel - goddess of the moon.









The dances are very beautiful, and the women dancing are also the very talented Mayan massage healers, and having a massage at the Jungle Spa is not to be missed.











Some of the dances have some very amazing footwork, all carried out in white high heels, beautifully decorated.














During the final pole dance, the audience is encouraged to join in, so Ingrid joined the group and participated in what is a very spiritual, moving dance.
