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 Templo Jempe, specializing in holistic medicine. The experience begins with a Temazcal ceremony, a traditional steam bath that has been practised since pre-Hispanic times.

We will light a bonfire and explain the procedure, after which the shamans will recite ancestral chants, using soplo, medicinal snuff, and plants to cleanse negative energies. The ceremony will invoke the four elements: water, earth, fire , and air.

Hot volcanic stones will create a steam bath to aid in detoxification of the body and mind. Relaxing sounds will facilitate connection with your inner self, and upon leaving the Temazcal, you will have a bath with moon water.

After 4 hours, you can change clothes in the centre's facilities. The experience concludes with a vegetarian meal and pure cocoa drinks.

We will return to the meeting point in Quito, or you may choose to stay at the Jempe Temple Center.

Ending Point

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