- Ectagono- Ectarea - The temazcal, a traditional sweat lodge used by various ancient cultures in Mexico such as the Mexicas, Mayas, Zapotecas, Mixtecas, and other indigenous groups, is typically built as a hut or dome from materials like mud, stone, wood, or branches covered with fabrics, depending on the region. Inside, hot rocks are placed at the center to produce heat, and water infused with medicinal plants is poured over them to create steam with therapeutic properties, used for both physical and spiritual well-being. The temazcal serves as a space for purification of the body and mind, connection with nature, and honoring ancestral traditions. Revered as sacred by many indigenous communities, this practice is still used in various parts of Mexico as part of healing rituals. Huitzi, the main shaman, originally from a small town in Oaxaca, founded Aldea Tonatzin after moving to Mexico City a few years ago. This place is dedicated to preserving the authentic traditions of the Zapoteca culture. Currently, along with María, his friend and apprentice, they operate the traditional Zapoteca temazcal with the aim of sharing the Zapoteca heritage worldwide.
