We went to the temazcàl yesterday in Los Ingenios. The location is great, at the edge of the jungle on the far side of the tiny village.
After a chokra-cleansing ceremony, hot lava rocks were taken from a fire, and put inside the dome-shaped adobe-style temazcàl. Water with herbs like sage was poured on the hot rocks periodically creating a nice aromatic steam.
The sweat lodge was followed by a lovely snack of a salad made from vegetables that Pre-Hispanic people's would have eaten, and a dessert of an array of indiginous sweets including an amazing chocolate mousse containing chill.
Well worth the 400 pesos per person! They will be doing it again in 2 weeks.
