A temazcal is a type of sweat lodge, which originated with indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica. The term temazcal comes from the Nahuatl language, either from the words teme and calli (house), or from the word temāzcalli.
Insider tip — This Temazcal is situated in the Xochimilco area on the southern edge of Mexico City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient Aztec floating gardens and canal network. The temazcal tradition here is rooted in the same Aztec civilization that built Xochimilco's chinampas, and the ritual steam ceremony using volcanic heated stones and aromatic herbs has been practiced continuously in this area for over a thousand years. The urban temazcal experience offers city residents an accessible reconnection with indigenous wellness traditions.
