Get to know the culture of Mexico by taking part in a unique experience: an ancient Mayan Temazcal Ceremony, led by an authentic shaman. For the Mayan people, this ritual in the Home of Hot Stones was a source of health and energy. Learn about the power of volcanic stones and copal (resin) as you are guided by a shaman through four stages of purification. After the session in the temazcal, refresh by taking a cold bath. Then have a light snack of fresh, seasonal fruit and natural beverages. Leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and filled with positive energy.

This was by far one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. The entire Mayan community was extremely welcoming and the shaman had the most calming energy. The ceremony was about an hour / an hour and a half total. You are only in the hut for about 20 min., but it is pitch black and very warm. So, if you are afraid of small spaces/dark spaces then this is not for you. The entire ceremony is intended to cleanse your energy. You leave the hut feeing incredibly light and cleansed. Our tour guide, Maricela was an absolute delight. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Swimming in the cenotes in the moon light is heaven.

It was such an unique experience and a powerful ritual! When I return to Mexico I will repeat it for sure but I will choose the private option. The temazcalero was such a genuine, kind and knowledgeable person. All my respect to him! The entire ritual, the people from there, the dinner, the swimming in the cenote nearby all made this an unforgetable and one of a kind experience. It was a long trip from Playa to the forest and back, at least one hour one way! But we chose a group ritual and it is understandable. What I didn't like and it is not understandable is that they promote a small-group experience but we were 20 people inside and felt crowded! This is not a small group. There were too many people, some wanted to go out before the ritual finish and I felt a bit disturbed of that. So when you make the reservation keep in mind to remind them it is a small group ritual. I totally recommend this! P.S.: "If you have problems with heat, darkness or closed off spaces think twice though."
