Wirikuta, The Huichol Experience
Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Wirikuta, The Huichol Experience in Puerto Los Cabos, San Jose del Cabo, right by the Wirikuta Cactus Garden, is an amazing spectacle like no other in Los Cabos, a mystical night time show full of color, music, sounds and with dozens of talented artists performing marvelously.
The first thing I want to say, is that I was greatly surprised to see that our Cabo community has a show of this level; more greatly surprised to find out that the cast are local artists. The event takes place in a wonderful site, the Wirikuta botanical garden, that makes it more magical and natural. The stage is set amongst three rounded pyramids.
The whole experience starts at evening with cocktails and dinner. When you arrive, you pass by the cactus nursery where you can appreciate so many different forms of this plant, some are very strange, and some are very beautiful. You access through the Huichol Villa where some of the artists are inside of huts making arts and crafts like the Huichols do, there is also a woman making handmade tortillas that you can enjoy with delicious and artisanal beans, there is plenty of activity here. Singers received us, and I can say that the girl has one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard. After a few cocktails, or wine if you prefer in the Huichol market, you are conducted to the Shaman Dining where a Mexican Buffet is offered and you can taste all the Mexican delicacies in a garden ambience.
Then, the dark arrives and you can see the stars in the sky, the show begins and the night becomes magical. I don’t want to spoil the surprise telling you about the show if you are planning to go and enjoy it, but I can say that the storytelling is based in a Huichol ritual that is based in a legend about the yearly life regeneration. The costumes are very colorful and with the lights and the dark background they look so bright and vibrant. The main Shaman (Mara’Akame, what in Huichol means “ the one who heals singing”) makes and awesome artistic performance and his presence is overwhelming. Also the acrobats, they are out of this world, their performances are so appealing and spectacular. The dances and the light effects are tremendous.

This is something NOT to be missed. I really enjoyed the night and the wonderful service, the interpretation of all the actors, dancers and acrobats; I loved the natural stage, the theatrical entrance village with its performance artists interacting with us, the very detailed Huichol costumes and the storytelling of the show. I will get back at the first opportunity.
