Cleanse your body and spirit with this ancient steam therapy used by the original cultures in Mesoamerica: Olmecs, Mayan, Toltecs, Aztecs, and so on. As part of the cooling down process, you are invited to bathe in the swimming pool only steps from the Temazcal or rinse off in a freshwater shower.
The word "Temazcal" is derived from the ancient Aztec dialect (Nahuatl) for house of steam, (Temaz - Steam and Calli - House). For more information about this practice, check out our blog “Temazcal; The act of healing through sweating.”
- We'll meet you outside the planetarium Cha’an Ka’an, where your guide will pick you up and collect your remaining balance.
- The distance between the planetarium and the temazcal location is only 200 meters, approximately 10 minutes on foot, so we’ll walk together.
- Once you’re at the temazcal, the ritual begins. You’ll enter the hut, and it’s time to let the warmth heal you.
- When your guide deems it right, he’ll ask you to step out of the hut and jump in the pool to cool down.
- After the ritual, you’ll enjoy fresh fruit and talk about the experience.
