Excellent time

marybv, Nov 2025
Everything was great. The sweat lodge and the shaman were inspirational and healing. The food and drinks were wonderful. The service was always helpful. The pool was cool and refreshing. The showers and bathrooms were clean. Totally enjoyable day.

What an incredible ay and activity!

Oh my gosh, where do I begin?!? What an incredible experience this was. Our driver took us on a city tour and once we finally arrived we were greeted and taken to the sweat lodge. I didn't know what to expect, but it was such a great experience. Afterwards we were served the most delicious meal and I was able to sample some great tequilas. The hosts were so awesome and made us feel like family. I would highly recommend this activity.

Amazing mezcal ranch experience

Susan_M, Mar 2025
Mr.Lionso, his family and staff were super kind, welcoming and accommodating. It was a unique experience that we are so glad that we got to have. The ATV is on the beach, the Mezcal with a rattlesnake, the sweat lodge and the yummy lunch. We’re all awesome.

Wish I hadn't signed up for this experience.

It was an experience that was not described accurately. I was uncomfortable most of this trip - the roads we traveled to the ranch were not public roadways. The mud/clay that they placed on our bodies was scratchy and did not make my skin feel great, the shaman was a new female employee who kept us in the hut what seemed like hours, the steam never made us sweat no matter how many stones were put inside. There was no hot springs to bathe in afterwards but only a very cold shower to wash off the clay/mud. The meal and tequila was good but since we were not happy about the so-called spiritual experience, an ATF trip was offered. We found out that the original trip that had been advertised had been taken over by the cartel which did not make us feel anymore secure. We waited for a long time to take the ATF tour and I did not enjoy it at all though I admit I never ever really wanted to go on an ATF tour. It was something that I felt was dangerous and unnecessary. Ultimately I was sorry that I went on a trip that lasted over 7 hours instead of the 4 hours that was advertised.

Mindfulness & Tacos

Dawn_N, Dec 2024
I was excited about this experience because I am big believer in mindfulness. The company was great about sending me a message with their projected arrival time at my hotel; however, they were almost 30 mins late. I was worried I would miss “the event”. I called the company and they explained that the shuttle was running late due to the other customers they were picking up. I wish I had known how far the drive was to the ranch, so I could have planned my bathroom visit accordingly. It turned out to be a 20-25 mins ride. Once we arrived, it was cool to see they had cows, chickens, horseback riding and ATV riding, all on the same ranch. The owner was great about talking to each family individually & he was quick to find our “shaman”. Within 5-10 mins, the shaman found us and led us to the sweat lodge. Thankfully, we had worn our swimsuits under our clothes and were able to pull off the outer layers without wasting any more time or having to parade past the folks eating lunch. She applied mud to each of us, then tried to recite the shaman prayers in broken English, but we couldn’t quite understand her. Nevertheless, the intention was there. We sat on chairs inside the sweat lodge for about 45 mins. She had to coordinate with someone outside the lodge for more heated stones to produce the steam, which was a bit distracting. We could also hear the ATVs driving around. Once we were finished, we did have to parade past the folks eating lunch…so bring towels. We had 2 showers of cold water available to rub off the mud, the best that we could. Then we sat down for a good meal of shredded beef tacos, with beans, guacamole & watermelon…and of course, many taste test rounds of tequila. They have a splash pool where some kids were playing. They have the distillery equipment on the grounds for people to tour and talk to the owner about. After about 4+ hrs, we tracked down our shuttle driver and made our way back to the hotel. We would definitely do the tour again.

Great day!

Great time, I would do it again. Everyone was so nice. Our driver was very knowledgeable. The food was sooo good!

A nice few hours

The best part was the driver Fernando who had great historical knowledge of the local area and went out of his way to stop and show things along the hour drive to the hot springs. He was awesome!

Perfect Day of Rejuvenation

Renee_L, Mar 2023
This experience was just delightful. My 16 year old daughter and I absolutely loved it. The little village in which the experience happens is remote, quaint and calming. The mineral spring pool soak, mud scrub and steam were just what we needed. We also very much enjoyed the authenticity of it all, including the food. Our guides, including our driver, throughout this day were nothing but stellar. We’ve done many experiences through Viator throughout the world and this one ranks as a favorite.

What a great day. The...

What a great day. The warm pools to soak in where great, mud made our skin feel fab, and the sauna was also good. Our driver, Hector, was great. Lunch in the village was very authentic and delicious. Good range of tequila flavours to choose from too. Don't get caught up too long in the distillery though, head to the leather and jewellery shop where jeweller Jose Luis has a beautiful range of jewellery with unique and stunning settings and coloured stones. An enjoyable day out well worth the money.

Had a great time at the sweat lodge...

Bonita H, Apr 2018
Had a great time at the sweat lodge wasn't like anything I've experienced in the USA, but that was the fun of it. The bus trip was even interesting and had a couple of extra stops. Very fun day outing! If there was one thing to improve on - the lunch was a bit skimpy and should have included a little Mexican desert. :

We enjoyed our stops on the way to...

D. Kaye I, Jan 2018
We enjoyed our stops on the way to the country where we did the sweat lodge and tequila tasting not tour. Our guide was not informative and did not talk alot. With these Viator tours, it really depends on who your guide is that will make it enjoyable. The sweat lodge was an experience and we have had better tequila.

Incredible, personalized experience...

Noelle S, Dec 2017
Incredible, personalized experience. Run by wonderful people. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. The sweat lodge is amazing- just what I needed. The lunch they provided is the best Mexican food I have ever tasted. The tequila tour was fun and educational.
