Excursion cancelled

Excursion cancelled 10 min after the pick-up time at the hotel due to lack of driver. Another date was proposed 3 days later i.e. after our return. What a disappointment not to have been able to do what we had scheduled more than 1 month before our departure.

Wanted more

I had really high expectations and I wish it were more spiritual. Maybe the groups were too large because it felt a little touristy for me. First time I ever did a sweat lodge and that was a powerful experience…I enjoyed it and felt great afterwards… Although It’s not for everyone. Bring a towel and change of clothes. And mosquito repellent !

Not the best organization

While the actual Temazcal experience was great the disorganization of this event was really disappointing. We drove to town bc we were not staying in a hotel. I called them and they assured me we would be back by 10pm. We were told to meet the van at certain location at a specific time and they made us wait in the sun with no shade for over an hour. There was no answer at the agency’s number bc it was after hours. No other way of communicating with them. When they finally arrived to pick us up, we were their only second stop. Once we got the place, we had to wait around for another hour before all the other vans arrived. Once the entire experience was over, we had to wait another hour for people to “shop” in the very expensive store. they finally drove us back at around 11, by this time the parking lot was closed. We had to take a very expensive taxi back to our rental. I would only recommend this company if you don’t mind waiting around for a while and waisting time

To do without hesitation

Great experience, very rewarding. Mental preparation required for extreme sweating. Very good purification of the whole body.
