The Mayan Temazcal ritual comes from Mayan religion and has been practiced in Mexico for generations. At La Hacienda Cancun, the basecampers meet a shaman healer who organizes a true Temazcal ceremony in typical Mexican tradition.
Deeply-rooted in Mayan culture and religion, the Mayan sweat lodge (Temazcal) is a small dome made from mortar with heated rocks inside to use as a heat source. Just like the Mayan tribes in ancient Mayan history, many modern-day Mexican people believe that sweating inside a Temazcal to the drum beats of a Mexican shaman forces one to confront their fears and rid the mind of negatives thoughts.
This is hands-down one of the best things to do in Cancun.
