Temazcalli and Andean Offering
Connect with ancestral purification rituals and the spiritual world of the Andes.
Trip Overview
This full-day spiritual experience integrates two powerful rituals: the offering or “Despacho” and the temazcal ceremony. The Andean offering is one of the most important rituals of the Andean worldview, through which permission and blessings are requested from Pachamama, the Apus, and the energies of the universe. The Temazcalli ceremony, of Mesoamerican origin, is a traditional steam bath that seeks the cleansing and renewal of the body, mind, and spirit.
