Mayan experience with temazcal and fresh local food

6 to 7 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 2 more

The Sacred Temazcal Ceremony
Step into the womb of the Earth, where the ancient stones—our Grandmothers—hold the fire’s wisdom. Guided by the sacred chants of the shaman, we invoke the healing powers of the four elements:

Fire to burn away what no longer serves you
Water to purify the body and soul
Air to cleanse the mind
Earth to ground and renew your spirit

As the aromatic steam rises from the healing waters of medicinal plants, you will feel layers of past burdens dissolve. This is a space to release and awaken the powerful being within.

A Renewal Ritual
After the purification, we emerge into the open air and immerse ourselves in freshwater, revitalizing our bodies and sealing in the transformation.

A Feast for Soul
We complete our sacred circle with nourishment of a meal prepared in the ancestral way. Handmade tortillas, rich black beans, white rice, and the legendary tamales pibil, slow-cooked beneath the earth’s embrace. Vegetarian options are available as well, upon request.

    A temazcal is a unique experience that connects you deeply with Mother Earth while cleansing your spirit and mind. It is a journey toward achieving "a healthy mind in a healthy body." During this experience, you will have the opportunity to express your emotions and release your inner feelings. This process can help you build a new sense of self, renew your energy, and become more empowered. A shaman guides you into this spiritual journey by heating the dome with hot stones, referred to as "grandmothers." He then pours medicinal plant water over the stones, creating natural steam. This process aids in the elimination of toxins and the regeneration of your cells.

    We invite you to explore a community that harmoniously blends modern living with ancient traditions. Here, people live in tune with nature, preparing their food and cherishing the elements of the Earth. They share a deep love for one another and are eager to extend this way of life to others who are open and respectful of diverse cultures and values. We recognize our connection to Mother Nature, viewing each other as brothers and sisters who support one another. Welcome to your new life!
