$120.00

Cleanse your body, mind and soul on this unique tour to a Mayan steam lodge or temazcal.

Learn about the spiritual beliefs of the ancient Mayans and enjoy the most amazing experience on your vacation.

A knowledgeable guide or temazcalero - takes you on a tour following Mayan traditions that have been preserved through the centuries.

The whole experience takes place at a jungle reserve, free from sales people, photographers or other annoyances of modern life.

The word temazcal comes from the ancient Aztec dialect Nahuatl and means house of steam: temaz - steam, calli - house. It differs in many ways from Scandinavian, Turkish or Indian sweat baths and saunas, and has been widely used by the Aztecs and Mayas that populate Mesoamerica for many hundreds of years.

The ceremony is a relaxing and cleansing therapy for the nervous system and reactivates skin cells. The steam bath is said to help eliminate fat and stimulate blood vessels, as well as benefit the digestive and respiratory systems.

You will be led through the various phases of this mystic process. First the recognition of North, East, South and West and their significance to the Mayans with the 'Smudging Ceremony'. Then into the Mayan steam lodge for the four phases of cleansing and the five points of visualization. After about an hour you will emerge reborn and rejuvenated.

Once dry again, you can relax in the jungle while enjoying fresh fruits and juices, grown and harvested locally.
