In short
Retreats México is a blog about retreats, temazcal and ancestral traditions in Mexico, written in plain English for travelers from the US, Canada and beyond. It is published by Bluestone Retreats, a retreat center in the Mayan jungle near Cancún.
Why this blog exists
Searching for a retreat in Mexico can be confusing. There are beautiful websites, big promises and very little practical information. We started Retreats México to answer the questions people actually ask us: what a temazcal is, how to choose a safe retreat, what to pack, what happens after you go home.
Who is behind Retreats México
This site is published by Bluestone Retreats, a small retreat center near Cancún, Quintana Roo, led by a team that has been guiding ceremonies, temazcal and women’s circles in the Mayan jungle for years. Our articles are written and reviewed by the Retreats México editorial team.
