Puerto Escondido: Complete Temazcal Treatment

Puerto Escondido: Complete Temazcal Treatment

NA-HÁ MAYA Spa began in 2003 as a dream of our founder César Augusto Acosta Solís. Coming from an area with a Mayan past, he set out to unite the pre-Hispanic and modern cultures by creating a product. A thematic spa in which our visitors at the same time that they relax are knowing and valuing our roots. The name NA-HÁ MAYA comes from the Mayan language, which means "House of Mayan water", this comes in conjunction with the meaning of the word spa, "Health by water". Over the years our organization has become more aware of the desire to pamper and relax our visitors so that in addition to taking away an experience of total relaxation, they also leave with new knowledge to take home.
