Temazcal in Spa Patagonia: Indigenous sweat lodge experience

For hundreds of years, the indigenous people of Mexico have practiced a purifying steam bath. Our Temazcal, or steam bath, is based on traditional healing methods used by indigenous Mexicans in which the properties of fire and water are combined to purify the mind, body, and soul.

In our days, this steam bath has been taken up with the intention of experiencing this magic connection that has been forgotten and that exists in the Earth and in all parts of our being.

Volcanic rocks are heated until red-hot and are placed in the center of an igloo-type construction, where the group reunites. After the initial ceremony, the conch shell is sounded, signaling the beginning of the Temazcal bath. The group gets comfortable inside the Temazcal and the stones are called for. The door is closed, sealing off all light and sealing in the heat. Herbs are thrown on the stones to create a curative vapor, heating the Temazcal to even higher temperatures. The body may reach a temperature of 104°F ó 40° C during the Temazcal. Heating volcanic rocks help to liberate ancient experiences, sweating collaborate to increase the energy.

The group exits the Temazcal after the four doors (each part of the Temazcal is called “puerta”, or door) have concluded and each person cools off under a shower before dressing. We will drink herbal tea and discuss our experiences before heading to the restaurant for a light dinner of rice pudding.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Clothing: we recommend wearing comfortable clothing, such us sarong, o bathing suits.
Hidration: Make sure to drink at least 3 liters of water throughout the entire day of the Temazcal, as up to 2 liters may be lost during the sweat bath. We will be serving herbal teas during the experience. Please consume a light meal at least two hours before the Temazcal to avoid indigestion.

It is very important that alcohol and drugs NOT be consumed on the day of the Temazcal.
