DiscoverCDMX team write-up
Ninety minutes south of CDMX in the shadow of the Tepozteco. Curandera Doña Amalia runs the ceremony — copal, medicinal herbs, four rounds of increasing heat, ice water between. Pair with lunch at El Ciruelo (cecina de Yecapixtla, chile relleno) before driving back. This is a real ceremony, not a hotel spa treatment. Not appropriate for pregnancy or serious heart conditions.
