The experience
Your hotel pickup starts the day 15 minutes before you reach the ranch. Once there, the guides hand you a helmet and goggles, walk you through the motorcycle controls, and send you out on a one-hour ride that cuts through trails, agave plantations, jungle, and a wooden bridge before hitting the beach. The pace stays guided (you're not racing), and the route is built for riders new to ATVs as well as those who've done it before.
Back at the ranch, lunch arrives: cheese flambée, machaca burritos, beans, salsa, handmade tortillas and your choice of drink. After you eat, a shaman greets you and hands you clay for a mud bath that exfoliates your skin. Once the mud dries, you rinse it off and move into the temazcal itself: a prehispanic sauna where volcanic stones and fragrant herbs generate steam. You sit in a circle, sweat, and work through the four elements (earth, wind, fire, water) as a way to purify your body and spirit. The ceremony is not rushed. It unfolds at its own pace. Afterward, the group visits the mezcal factory to taste the local spirit.
Bring a swimsuit, extra clothes, a towel and sunscreen. The whole experience runs about four and a half hours from pickup to drop-off. A vegetarian meal option is available if you request it when you book, and the guides speak English or Spanish.
