Temazcal Ancestral Healing Ceremony
In our place of peace "Temazcal y Masajes Pixan" we are a team of people preserving our culture, everyone is welcome to our space With the support of Nayel and Yaollin (the man who guides the temazcal), we start welcoming people, I explain the Temazcal process, that is a traditional Mexican steam bath, which originated with pre-Hispanic Indigenous peoples, Is used as part of a curative ceremony thought to purify the body and balance mind, body and spirit. With sahumerio, copal and incense I make a energetic cleaning (preparation before entering the Temazcal). Afterwards, we enter at the Temazcal and we sit around the navel. Then the previously heated volcanic stones, which emit steam, emerge. The place becomes little warm, While the body rids itself of toxins through sweating, the spirit is renewed through ritual. And we will learn the importance of the words, the silence and the strength of the songs, making relaxing but also fun dynamics. When we finish we go out and shower in the garden with a rustic watering can, the water purifies our body. After I offer abundant and varied fresh fruits and natural fruit waters gift from our Mother Earth. Besides promoting physical well-being and healing, the Temazcal is also a ritual and spiritual practice in which traditional healing methods are used to encourage reflection and introspection. The temazcal is thought to represent the womb and people coming out of the bath are, in a symbolic sense, re-born. Come and enjoy a unique experience! Other things to note For this experience it is necessary to hydrate before and after. Eat very light food 3 hours before the event. Do not wear metal accessories, watches, rings, bracelets, chains, etc. Do not use perfumes, deodorants, creams or blockers before entering.

Adventure Snorkeling in Akumal Bay
In the Maya language, Akumal means place of the turtle. That is because many sea turtles are full-time residents of Akumal Bay. That makes seeing turtles out in the bay very possible when you're with an experienced guide like me. I'll meet you near the beach and provide you with life jacket and snorkeling gear. I will then take you through an exclusive entrance onto the beach of Akumal Bay. At the beach, I'll give you instructions on how to use your equipment, where we'll be swimming, what marine life you can expect to see, how to be mindful and respectful of the marine life and environment, and most importantly, how to be safe in the water. Once we enter the water, we'll take a brief pause to make sure everyone is comfortable in the water and with their equipment. Then, I'll guide you around the circuit and show you all of the marine life that Akumal Bay has to offer. You can see sea turtles, stingrays, barracudas, reef squid, coral reef and many other tropical fish. After we've had fun in the water, we'll head back to shore and I'll take your equipment. If you need any help with the rest of your day, I'll be there to assist you. Other things to note You do not need to be a strong swimmer to participate in my tour but you should at least be comfortable in the water. The bay can be closed on occasion due to adverse weather conditions.
Night Snorkel, Looking for Octopus
Have you ever been in the sea during the night? This is a completely different adventure that you’ll remember all your life. We'll snorkel in a privileged area where octopus and squids hunt during the night and do not worry we are there just to observer and learn, we'll not fish or kill anything. We'll walk from the shore to the water and move around an area no bigger than two basketball court, the maximum depth is 2.5 meters so it’s pretty safe. Every person will have a lantern and a strobe. If you feel that you need a life jacket, we can provide you with one. I'll have my camera ready all the time to take pictures and videos for you and I'll send all to you after the experience. We'll spend at least one hour and a half or two in the water depending on how you feel, we'll have to work as a team because the octopuses are experts in camouflage. We'll always keep a safe distance to the animals, even if sometimes the squids come very close to us, we'll explain you how to behave to not hurt them. After the experience we'll take you to your hotel or Airbnb and you can ask me any question about the animals, I am always happy to share all what I have learned. Do not worry if you do not know how to swim, we can take some time to teach you some basic moves that will allow you to enjoy the experience.
