One of the unique experiences available to the Aventura Spa Palace guests is the Temazcal. This traditional Mexican sweat bath, developed in Mesoamerica
hundreds or even thousands of years ago, is similar to the ancient sweat
lodge tradition of the indigenous peoples of the United States. The
name Temazcal comes from the native Nahuatl (Aztec) language for “bath
house,” and describes a small round stone structure with a pit holding
hot volcanic rocks. In the Temazcal treatment, water is poured on the
hot rocks to produce steam that is calming and therapeutic. You also take a spiritual journey of purification and enlightenment led by a traditional shaman.
