Description

Escape to the majestic Sierra Juárez on a journey designed to revitalize body, mind and spirit. The adventure begins with a delicious breakfast at Los Encinos, surrounded by pure mountain air. We continue to Molinillos, a corner of the Sierra with beautiful natural landscapes, and then visit Guelatao de Juárez — birthplace of one of Mexico's most important historical figures — where you'll walk its lake and trails and discover the deep bond between nature and Zapotec culture. The most special moment arrives with an authentic ancestral wellness experience: a traditional guide leads a purification ceremony based on indigenous knowledge, followed by a relaxing half-body massage and a traditional temazcal — the pre-Hispanic steam bath used to cleanse the body, renew energy and restore physical and emotional balance. The ceremony can be held privately for couples or as a group, offering an intimate and deeply meaningful experience. Ideal for those seeking relaxation, connection with nature and a respectful approach to Oaxaca's ancestral traditions.
