Celebrate National Guacamole Day Fairmont Mayakoba Style
Did you know that Guacamole is Aztec for “Avocado Sauce”? This Mexican treat has delighted our palates for quite some time now to the point of having its own national day. Guacamole comes in all types of flavors and presentations, there are truly so many ways of eating it but the thing we all agree is that it is delicious!
Every September 16th in the United States, Guacamole is celebrated throughout the country and interesting enough, it comes one day after Mexico’s Independence Day so you can bet that a guacamole feast takes place during mid-September, no matter the occasion.
This year is different in many aspects but what a better way to bring some joy and spice to our “new” daily lives with some guac & chips. That’s why at Fairmont Mayakoba, we want you to celebrate with us, no matter if you are traveling with us or staying at home. We guarantee you will enjoy authentic Guacamole paired with delicious spicy Margaritas to celebrate National Guacamole Day.
