Finish the tour by experiencing one of the ancient Mayan ceremony in the "home of hot stones" with a real shaman. It is a good combination of an interesting historical tour and total relax in the Temazcal.Your tour begins with hotel pickup early in Cancun or Riviera Maya. You will board a vehicle and drive to Chichen Itza to arrive at around 10:30am. You will explore the site with your guide and stay there for about 2 hours. Chichén Itzá was a center of commercial and religious power and is considered one of the most important vestiges of pre-Hispanic culture. See its main landmarks, including El Castillo.
After a great time here, your driver will be waiting to take you to the 'Sacred Blue Cenote' of Ik Kil ("place of the winds), where you can swim in the waters of this natural well inside a cave covered with lush vegetation. Then, you will enjoy a lunch buffet at the cenote's restaurant.
After lunch, you will head to the lodge where Temazcal takes place. Your arrival is programmed for 5-6pm, it is the best time to enjoy this unique experience.
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 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 guide 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. Afterwards, you will relax in a hammock and at the end of the excursion you will have a light dinner with tropical fruits and natural drinks.
