Rest and Relaxation
EMayabell offers two options for rejuvenating health, beauty, and well-being. Choose one, or combine the two for excellent results.
Temazcal - Mayan steam bathTo better understand Mayan culture, it is essential to experience the traditional Temazcal Mayan steam bath.
The word Temazcal is nahua in origin and means “house of vapor” (temaz-vapor Calli-house).
The Temazcal is a steam bath with prehispanic origins, still in use today in Mesoamerican villages.
Masages
It’s well-known that massage provides many benefits that allow us to reach a healthy mind-body balance and establish inner peace.
Massage is an effective means of combating fatigue, aches and pains, digestive problems, anxiety and stress. It can also tone the body, relieving problems such as celulitis.
To energize yourself after the long trip to Palenque or to start the day feeling relaxed, Mayabell offers different therapeutic massage techniques for our visitors to choose from.
To create the steam bath, water infused with traditional herbs is poured on rocks heated to fiery-red. The Temazcal is a vestige of the ancient ceremonial baths found in Palenque’s archeological zone.
The bath is therapeutic as well as ceremonial. It purifies the respiratory and digestive systems and tones the nervous system. In ritual use, it helps to bring the spirit back in contact with the universe.
It’s a purification ceremony of body and soul that allows one to experience incredible relaxation.
