Owner description:
Temazcal is a traditional Indian bath-house. It is the only Indian ritual which has been practiced up to our days. Before the conquest for the majority of Indian tribes Temazcal served as both, a bath-house and a clinic.You are invited to participate in the exotic ancient ritual. Scorching volcanic stones serve as a source of healing heat, which is being enriched with exclusively selected herbs. The strong aromatic effect along with a process of cleansing of your organism from the toxins creates a special condition of relaxation.We also organize beautiful Prehispanic weddings or vowels renewal. The scenary is perfect for any of these.
