  1. Mud, Massage, Mezcal, Huatulco1

    1. Mud, Massage, Mezcal

    5.0· 12 reviews· 3.5 hours

    At a beautiful beach, indulge in the tradition of a therapeutic mud treatment. The mud, made with warm mineral water, volcanic ash, organic peat, lake mud, and sea salt, dries quickly (10-15 minutes) followed by an exfoliation and a dip in the sea. When you emerge, your skin will be refreshed, clear, and soft to the touch. Beach showers and changing rooms are available to remove any excess mud. For this beach experience, you will need your bathing suit and flip flops; the host provides fluffy towels and plenty of water. Once showered and clothed we will depart La Bocana. Then, enjoy an authentic Mexican mezcal tasting. We will provide an educational and tasteful exploration of Oaxaca’s drink of choice. This tour promises not only relaxation but also an interesting cultural experience where you will learn about this local libation.
