CEREMONIA DE TEMAZCAL
 facebook.com/events/946521998751131

Saturday - September 13 - 10am to Sunday - September 14 at 2:00pm
A temazcal [temasˈkal] is a type of sweat lodge which originated with pre-Hispanic Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica. The word temazcal comes from the Nahuatl word temāzcalli /temaːsˈkalːi/ ("house of heat") or possibly from the Aztec teme (to bathe) and calli (house). Temazcal in English is also written as temezcal, temascal, or temescal. In ancient Mesoamerica it was used as part of a curative ceremony thought to purify the body after exertion such as after a battle or a ceremonial ball game. It was also used for healing the sick, improving health, and for women to give birth. It continues to be used today in Indigenous cultures of Mexico and Central America that were part of the ancient Mesoamerican region for spiritual and health reasons. It is currently being recovered by all sectors of society in that part of the world and is used as a cleansing of mind, body and spirit.

Go up very small hill, down toward the right, cross a speed bump and small bridge

Then stay Left at every possibility for about 350 meters

ANOTHER WAY I SAW
About 600 meters from the traffic light (North of the Super Santiago) you'll come to a fork in the road.
On your Left you'll see a bamboo fence.
Enter at the 1st gate which says "Flor de Mayo"

FROM SAN JOSE:
After the toll booth - just before the airport at the Light•Traffic Circle (on your right is RostiPollo, Denny's, a Casino and 2 hotels) - get into the Right lane and turn into the traffic circle take the 1st RIGHT turn/exit and follow directions above.

FROM HEREDIA:
(Landmarks - Pass La Florida beer factory, then pass the Pacific gas station).
See small blue and white police station on the right, this is just prior to the 2nd traffic light where you turn right.
If you pass the Pizzeria Italiana and Hotel Backpacker you have gone too far.
Follow directions above

TAXI LANDMARK
In Rio Segundo de Alajuela
It is at the corner where you turn to go to La Careta, (cruz de La Carreta )
