Aldea Tonatzin Temazcal Purification Ritual
Description
Engage in a traditional purification ritual at Aldea Tonatzin and indulge in a temazcal steam bath that promises to rejuvenate your body profoundly!
Tour Details
We will gather at the scheduled hour at Starbucks on Alfonso Reyes, located in the Condesa district. Our journey will take us south of Mexico City, where a remarkable experience of spiritual enrichment and wellness awaits.
After a scenic ride of approximately 40 minutes, we will reach Aldea Tonatzin, the venue for our temazcal purification ritual. This practice is viewed as sacred by numerous indigenous peoples and continues to serve as a healing method across various regions of Mexico.
Commencing our adventure, we shall stroll through the medicinal garden for roughly 15 minutes, allowing us to bond with nature. Following this, we will enter the temazcal hut, a dome-like structure symbolizing the womb of Mother Earth.
Within this unique environment, you will discover hot volcanic stones that, when mixed with water and aromatic herbs, create a purifying steam. During the ceremony, you will notice how the heat and scents envelop you, melting away tension, detoxifying your body, and enhancing your sense of connection to the natural world. You are welcome to remain inside the temazcal, up to a maximum of 45 minutes.
Upon concluding the ritual, you'll enjoy around half an hour to unwind in the garden and change attire. Once you feel ready, we will head back to the initial meeting place in Colonia Condesa, with our return estimated between 3 to 5 hours later.

Important information
On the day of the activity, the guide will be waiting for you outside the Starbucks in the lobby of the Hotel AR, located at Alfonso Reyes 218, Colonia Condesa. You can see the exact location via this Google Maps link. Please note that the shuttle leaves at the indicated time, so we recommend that you arrive at least 10 minutes before the tour starts.
We remind you that Mexico City has a lot of traffic.
Important
We advise you to bring a swimming costume or comfortable clothes that can get wet, a towel and a change of clothes for afterwards.
It is also important to stay hydrated before the temazcal session, as you will be sweating a lot. We suggest drinking mineral water with a touch of lemon, coconut water or an electrolyte to keep you cool.
