Helaman Tours is owned and operated by Helaman Petlacalco. Helaman is of Mayan and Aztec descent and has been sharing his insight and love of these cultures with thousands of people who have visited the Yucatan over the past 28 years.  10 years ago Helaman started his own company called Helaman Tours to focus on the LDS perspective of the archeological sites. He was one of the first two tour guides to offer LDS tours in Cancun.  As you can see he has a lot of  experience.

HE IS THE TOUR GUIDE THAT YOU NEED TO ENRICH YOUR VACATION.  

He has served 3 times as Branch President, 4 times in the High Council and taught seminary for 6 years.  Thru these callings, especially while teaching seminary, he gained a greater love and knowledge of the scriptures and the language of the ancient symbols on the Mayan temples.

He is not just a tour guide wanting your money.  He is a dedicated active member of the church who is willing to share with you his knowledge of the teachings of the Book of Mormon and Mayan history.

 

Helaman is grateful to be joined by his brother Lemuel, son Nephi and son-in-law Carlos, both of whom are returned missionaries, who also share a love of the gospel and a desire to teach.  All four of them are licensed and authorized by the Mexican government .
