Begin with pickup at your Cancun hotel, then travel to Coba, where the ruins of a vast city are still surrounded by thick jungle. Listen for tropical bird calls as you follow tree-lined paths to temples and ancient roads, then climb to the top of Nohoch Mul, a 137-foot (42-meter) pyramid that’s the tallest in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Continue to Tulum, where the historic fortifications drop away to a white sand beach and clear water. See the Temple of the Diving God, the Temple of the Frescoes, and El Castillo, and learn about life in this compact, strategically located city.
After exploring the sites, you’ll experience the living Maya culture: meet a temazcalero, or shaman, who will introduce you to the traditional temazcal sweat lodge. Start with a cleansing ceremony using aromatic herbs and copal, then enter the temazcal. The temazcalero will guide you through four heating and cooling cycles as you listen to songs and instrumental music, and use aromatic herbs, mud, honey, aloe vera, and refreshing teas.
Experiencing the temazcal as a private tour means that the shaman can adjust the heat to your preferences, and tailor the time to your needs. After the temazcal session, refresh yourself in a cool bath, then enjoy fresh fruits and water. After the temazcal portion of the tour, which lasts roughly 1.5 hours, make the return trip to Cancun, where this tour concludes.

To culminate the tour you will experience the Temazcal a Maya ritual considered a source of health and energy. After a small cleaning ceremony with the copal and aromatic herbs, you will enter the temazcal and start experiencing the heat of the volcanic rock and its red light in the darkness. The aroma of herbs and copal will give allow you to feel at ease, purify the body and create space to get rid of bad energies and purify intentions. Using aromatic herbs, mud, honey, aloe vera and refreshing teas, the temazcalero will guide you through four intervals of increasing and decreasing heat (by opening the door of the temazcal), and enjoy the curative powers along with songs and musical instruments.
In any moment, you can leave the temazcal or ask the shaman to increase or reduce heat. This experience will allow you to find a space of positive and curative energies towards the body and spirit, as well as relaxation. All of this is done in a healthy and safe place.
After the session in the temazcal, you can take a cold bath and then enjoy fresh fruit of the season and waters. Because of its interactive character, the length of the temazcal session varies, but it is usually 1.5 hours long.
Duration: 2 hours
