Description 

Tepoztlán is a magical place full of good vibes (a town 90 min outside Mexico City). We’re off to Amatecamp, a beautiful holistic surrounded by mountains. The day will be balanced with a hike and Temazcal (one of the ancient Mexican traditions to reset yourself, a traditional sweat lodge to pre-hispanic cultures)

Experience a spiritual and human development journey, this one-day retreat in Tepoztlán offers a chance to reset yourself with one of the ancient Mexican traditions of Temazcal, this ritual connects you with mother earth and the tradition invites self exploration and connection with your lineage. Words can not describe this journey but it is a trip to your mother and the earth's womb.
