Spa and Wellness Experiences in Nature: The Cure for a Complicated Year
Simbiosis Spa and the Rio Negro hot springs are the perfect setting for wellness experiences at Hacienda Guachipelin. Forest bathing, earthing, and wellness services are being offered for your health at our amazing natural environments at Hacienda Guachipelin.
Humans have long known that the natural world is important to our health. Today, it is especially important for us to remember that nature is our primary antidote to the burnout we all feel from consuming so much technology. Everywhere we turn, there is another screen and another button beckoning for our attention.
The currency of wellness is connection. Stressors get in the way of connection by triggering our ‘fight or flight’ response. Our new realities of COVID-19 and social distancing are challenging for many of us. We are used to physical contact and since we cannot do that for now, we must change our core interactions with each other and our environment. Taking an exotic retreat and setting good intentions for our health, even in these times of crisis, can make us more compassionate citizens.
Nature also serves another important but seldom thought of purpose today, which is to inspire us to reconnect with and protect our natural environments. Hacienda Guachipelin is located in a pristine environment that allows you to regenerate in a natural way. This is a sacred region that is known for indigenous medicine and holistic healing.
Rincón de la Vieja means “Corner of the Old Woman,” and local legends tell of an ancient indigenous princess, Curubandá, daughter of the Curubandé tribe chieftain, who fell in love with Prince Mixcoac, the son of an enemy chief. Curubandá’s father ended her forbidden lover’s life by throwing him into the live volcano crater. Devastated, Curubandá became a recluse, living the rest of her life high on the volcano’s slope. She learned natural medicines from the volcano and developed mystical healing powers. People seeking medicinal cures were told to go to “the corner of the old woman” by the volcano. And thus, the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano received its name.
Since Hacienda Guachipelin is located in the valley of this sacred volcano, we feel that it is our obligation to share in the healing powers that make this region famous worldwide. As a tribute to this special site, we offer an immaculate and as-close-to-untouched environment to host powerful wellness events like forest bathing, earthing, yoga, and natural spa sessions.
