When in Cozumel there are only a few Temascals to visit. Let me say in advance I am a sweat lodger from the north. I have done sweat with many traditional elders across Turtle Island and this one run by Petrus and Luis is as good as any I have experienced, and better than most. I was very impressed with... More

Petrus and his colleagues created a not to be missed experience that mixed Mayan cultural highlights with the beauty of nature and the poetry of the steam lodge ritual. On the practical side, Petrus was very well organized, communicating all the arrangements clearly and picking us up exactly where and when he promised. The venue was rustic and quite beautiful....

Petrus and the Temazcal in Cozumel Mexico provide an extraordinarily authentic, alternate and unique cultural experience. One should not be dissuaded by the idea of a jungle in Cozumel Mexico; on the contrary the location enhances the authenticity of the rich cultural experience. The steam lodge is located less than 2 kilometers from the International Cruise Ship Terminal, in a... More

I'd never been in a steam lodge but I would definitely go back! I enjoyed learning about the history and culture of the steam lodge. While I did have some nervousness going to the site and this experience, I greatly enjoyed it! I also felt more relaxed afterwards.

My husband and I arrived at Cozumel aboard the Oasis of the Seas. I had noticed all the excellent reviews of the Temazcal Mayan Steam Lodge on Trip Advisor and wanted to try something different. My husband was a little skeptical and worried about getting back to the ship on time. I wrote Petrus and his response was so professional... More

This was the first Temazcal experience for my husband, Jorge, and myself. I had set up a private ceremony for just the two of us to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and Petrus and his wife really made it all come together, and made it an experience I won't soon forget. We arrived to the property in the middle of... More
