About this experience

This is a Sedan or Van Tour.

After a short cleaning ceremony with the copal and aromatic herbs, you will enter in the temazcal and start experiencing the heat of the volcanic rocks and its red light in the darkness. The aroma of herbs and copal will allow you to feel at ease, purify the body and create space to get rid of bad energies and purify intentions. Using aromatic herbs, mud, honey, aloe vera, and refreshing teas, the temazcalero will guide you through four intervals of increasing and decreasing heat (by opening the door of the temazcal). Enjoy the curative powers along with songs and musical instruments.

After the session in the temazcal, you can take a cold bath and then enjoy fresh fruit of the season and fruit flavored water. Because of its interactive character, the length of the temazcal session varies, but it is usually around 90 minutes.

You will leave refreshed, renewed and filled with positive energy.

Experience the Mercado Central. The place where the locals get produce, fruit and different products. A principal commerce center for many residents of the city. Such a market plays a central role in the life of most Mexican cities/towns, including Acapulco. Relatively few tourists find their way to the market and this is a great opportunity to get to better understand Mexico.

We head to Barra de Coyuca After the session in the temazcal, you can take a cold bath and then enjoy fresh fruit of the season and fruit flavored water. Because of its interactive character, the length of the temazcal session varies, but it is usually around 90 minutes.
