Wow! A life changing experience. And so well orchestrated! Fernando and Melanie are awesome: kind, organized, helpful. There's no electricity, so take a phone bank charger if you are addicted to your cell phone. Also, a down sleeping bag might be a good idea cuz it gets cold at night in the mountains (7400 feet). Take a good rain jacket as well--the mushrooms only grow during the raining season. It is cold and wet but beautiful in the mountains. You have to build a fire to heat the water for your shower, but the heaters are very efficient so it's not an onerous task to do. It is very rustic.The temazcal is a little on the scary side, especially for a geezer like me who has never done a sweat lodge experience, but really powerful and an excellent wrap-up to the trip. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat--in fact, I am going to do it again.
