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

Exceeded my expectations!!! We did the shared group experience. The groups were divided by language; the English-speaking group was not big so it made it easy to hear all the instructions. The actual temazcal was amazing. Yes, it was hot/steamy which I was surprised I was able to endure it (~30 min in the actual temazcal) and I’m not fit by no means. It’s an experience worth trying.

I was so excited about this experience but I feel like I've been sold something totally unauthentic.
First, the pick-up was at a 30-min walk from my hotel and not in front of it and the driver was +30min late. So I started it waiting alone in the dark on a parking lot. No apologies from the guide when he finally arrived.
Then we got lost on our way to picking up 2 other people.
We arrived at the ceremony with more than 1,5 hour late. Everybody was waiting for us and was very tense which is not the best way to start this king of ceremony.
We were more than 40 personas which is absolutely too many. Nothing felt authentic. Because of such a big group, there were no cohesion, no good vibes nor energy. My guide was absolutely useless, i didn't see nor hear from here. The other guide were just here to translate but seemed to discover this ceremony for the first time.
Only one woman, the "main" guide knew about the Temazcal because she had done +300 already and was angry and yelling at us the whole way.
To put it in a nutshell, I have just lost 120 pounds for which I demand a Payback.

It was something totally new. The place of the ritual is like a stone igloo, in the center there is a circle where hot stones are placed that when wet with water release steam, turning the place into something like a Turkish bath, while whoever officiates the ceremony sings, plays a small drum and adds leaves that aromatize the place. It is a purification ritual.
In my opinion it is not recommended for those who suffer from claustrophobia or breathing problems.

The Shaman experience was fantastic especially the steam house. Would really recommend it, however, next time I will do a private or small group. The group was too large and multi translated (english, italian, french). This forced the tour guides to summarize to keep within time limits. We missed so much information because it was rushed. Also, tour guides did not explain about location of life jackets when sending us to the cenote - and there was not safety information about depth, areas to swim in.

We booked for a specific time and for them to pick us up and they changed the time. We waited for someone to pick us up and no one showed up. We didn’t get fully refunded for their mistake so still paid for not even experiencing the session.

This was the worse experience! We paid $300 person for a private luxury adventure/tour and we received nothing that was luxurious. They told us it would be a commute of 1 hour but in reality over two. They car we were picked up in was not to any luxury stand or to justify a $300 ticket per person. This is shady, dishonest, business practice!

I have participated in Native American sweat lodges and was very curious about this. It DID NOT disappoint. Gustavo was a wonderful guide. It filled my heart, and the Mayans who did the ceremony, provided the feast - I feel part of them now.
Yu’um bootik ❤️

The actual ceremony was great. The company’s miss leading marketing. And on hour late for pick up was very frustrating.

This was an awesome experience. The guy who picked me up was so nice, he was a translator for Russian though but one we got to the site he set me up with my English translator who was awesome as well. So glad I got to experience this. The ceremony was amazing and the cenote afterwards was refreshing and the diner was excellent!
