You will pass 4 stages of purification to find relaxation and peace and then you can relax in a hammock and have a light dinner (tropical fruits and natural drinks).Your tour begins after you are picked up from your hotel (for the private option only) or at the meeting point (for the shared option only). You will be headed to the lodge where the Temazcal experience takes place. This experience starts with an introductory talk from the "Temazcalero" guide, who will answer questions, followed by a salute around the fire.
After a small cleaning ceremony with the copal and aromatic herbs, you will enter the Temazcal and start experiencing the heat of the volcanic rock and its red light in the darkness. The aroma of herbs and copal will give allow you to feel at ease, purify the body and create space to get rid of bad energies and purify intentions. Using aromatic herbs, mud, honey, aloe vera and refreshing teas, the Temazcalero will guide you through four intervals of increasing and decreasing heat (by opening the door of the Temazcal), and enjoy the curative powers along with songs and musical instruments.
In any moment, you can leave the Temazcal or ask the shaman to increase or reduce heat. This experience will allow you to find a space of positive and curative energies towards the body and spirit, as well as relaxation. All of this is done in a healthy and safe place.
After the session in the Temazcal, you can take a cold bath and then enjoy fresh fruit of the season and water. Because of its interactive character, the length of the Temazcal session varies, but it is usually 1.5 hours long.
You will leave refreshed, renewed and filled with positive energy.
