Participate in a Temazcal Ceremony
Tulum has also become a very popular place for spiritually-minded travelers. There are many who come to Tulum to seek a calming vibe or at least like-minded spiritual people who enjoy mystical healing practices. While this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, it is great to embrace this mentality while visiting the area – and there is no better way to immerse yourself in Tulum’s mystical energy than to participate in a Temazcal ceremony.
Temazcal is a ritual that originated in Mexico and has been around for thousands of years. It also happens to be quite popular in Tulum, and several wellness centers offer Temazcal ceremonies. The ritual involves entering a dome-like structure and then sitting while hot volcanic rocks are brought in, and water is poured on them. It is a sweat lodge, but there is also often a more spiritual element.
Some ceremonies include the presence of a local shaman or some ritualistic chanting. While others include herbs and fragrances along with hot rocks that are thought to have healing properties. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, this ceremony can greatly benefit your skin clarity, and circulation, and it is even said to aid in weight loss.
