Temazcal Experience at Templo Jempe

Would you like to take a purifying bath and connect with nature? Enjoy this Temazcal experience at Templo Jempe and leave totally revitalised!

Description

We'll meet at the entrance of the Centro Comercial Iñaquito shopping centre at the indicated time and board a bus to start our journey to Templo Jempe. This centre specialises in holistic medicine.

After we meet, we'll start the Temazcal ceremony, a steam bath typical of the Mesoamerican area practiced since pre-Hispanic times. We will light a bonfire and explain the procedure. The shamans will recite ancestral chants to cleanse negative energies with soplo, medicinal snuff, and plants. Then, we will invoke the four elements: water, earth, fire, and air.

Next, hot volcanic stones will be added to the Temazcal, creating a steam bath to help detoxify the body and mind while relaxing sounds are played. Following the Temazcal, you will take a bath with moon water.

After 4 hours of experience and various rituals, you'll have time to change your clothes in the centre's facilities. The activity concludes with a vegetarian meal and pure cocoa drinks.

We will then say our goodbyes and return you to the meeting point in Quito, or you can choose to stay at the Jempe Temple Center.

Ending Point

During the booking process, you can choose whether you would like us to return you to the starting point in Quito or if you would prefer to stay at the Jempe Temple Center.
