Right outside Playa del Carmen, in a village surrounded by tropical jungle, you can experience a sweat lodge, or Temazcal as it is referred to by the Mayans. The Mayan Shaman will perform a cleansing sacred ceremony, which is said to cure your body and balance your chakras.
As we sat blindfolded in the jungle temple, the sounds of drumming, heartfelt singing and bird flute swelled around us. The tastes of chocolate and cinnamon danced on our tongues and every so often, we'd feel the breeze from a large fan. It later turned out to be wings on the dancer's body fanning us.
