Experience a remarkable voyage to the heart of ancient Mexican culture in the port of Huatulco. Uncover the spiritual aspects of the pre-Hispanic Temazcal ceremony, an intimate and private ancestral ritual that's deeply woven into the tapestry of America's indigenous heritage.
Our adventure begins at the dock's edge where our air-conditioned chariots await to safely whisk you away on a scenic 20-minute drive to the charming community of Piedra de Moros. Here, local families extend their heartfelt welcome by sharing the time-honored Temazcal ritual, an authentic experience likened to the relaxation offered by a Roman sauna.
You'll delve deeper into the ancient practices as you discover the medicinal attributes of a variety of herbs and plants revered by our ancestors and still used today. Some of these very same botanical wonders are employed in a purifying cleansing process before embarking on your Temazcal journey. Within the confines of a traditional, dome-like enclosure, an infusion of five or more herbs is poured onto glowing red-hot stones, releasing a gentle steam that invites you to sweat out impurities, cleanse your skin, and relax your body. This rejuvenating ritual welcomes about 20 to 30 minutes of immersive relaxation.
After the ceremony, you'll be treated to a refreshing shower and a soothing cup of lemongrass tea, flawlessly rounding off your spiritual voyage. As your journey concludes, we ensure a comfortable ride back to your cruise ship. The entire experience is designed to fit neatly within a 2.5-hour window, allowing you to make the most of your stopover in Huatulco.
Embrace this unique opportunity to experience an integral part of pre-Hispanic culture, as you relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with the ancient world during your visit to the picturesque port of Huatulco. This is more than just a tour: it's an unforgettable encounter with the past.
