During this captivating dinner show in Puerto Vallarta, you’ll learn the radiant story of ALMA. ALMA explores the wonders of what happens when we connect with nature, animals, and the ancestral spirits of the surrounding jungle.
Believed to have a protective soul, the Pyramid of the Sun is one of the most important and iconic landmarks in Mexico, however only a handful of souls are aware of the existence of a hidden pyramid with magical energy that is discovered only by those willing to embark on an inspirational journey.
Our story follows the legend of the quirky keeper and protector of this hidden pyramid and sacred object, a character whose only job is to stop anyone from touching the most precious and spiritual symbol on the island. An important duty, as this hidden pyramid has the power to open portals between the gods and humanity.
Our playful and whimsical keeper makes a connection with the pyramid that triggers a series of awakenings, embarking him on a rite of passage that transforms his soul. He soon discovers that universal harmony depends on humanity's respect and worship of nature and the beings that inhabit it.
This captivating performance takes place at a surreal and perfectly curated natural amphitheater nestled in the heart of the jungle, where you’ll see this story come to life before your eyes.
