Highlights

Get to know the culture of Mexico by taking part in a unique experience: a 4-hour 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. Upgrade for a private experience including round-trip hotel transport from Tulum. Evening ceremony begins at 17.00 pm or 19.00 pm depends on the location of Temazcal

About Tulum

Tulum pairs clifftop Maya ruins above a turquoise sea with white beaches, jungle cenotes and a laid-back, bohemian town on the Riviera Maya.

The ruins of Tulum, a walled Maya port, stand on a limestone cliff above the Caribbean, with El Castillo overlooking a small cove of white sand. The setting is one of the most photographed in Mexico, and the site is at its loveliest early in the morning, before the heat builds.

Top-ranked sights in Tulum: Mayan Ruins of Coba (Zona Arqueológica de Cobá), Xel-Há, Muyil.
