1st Raicero Festival in Puerto Vallarta: July 26th to July 28th
This informative and inspiring event is destined to be one of the most interesting Puerto Vallarta activities of the year, and will include a group prayer and offering to Mother Water Tatei Haramara in which everyone will thank her for all her blessings that we are enjoying in our lives. In addition, traditional grandparents will be on hand to share their expertise in natural medicine as well as to lead ancestral songs to inspire and invoke a sense of well being for everyone that attends.
Are you new to the arena of temazcales and natural healing? If so, this is a perfect chance for you to attend workshops about ancestral knowledge during the festival that the whole family can enjoy.
A temazcal is a type of spiritual sweat lodge experience that originated during pre-Hispanic times in Mesoamerica, and is becoming more popular in recent years. The word temazcal actually comes from the Nahuatl word temāzcall. In English, Temazcal is also written as temezcal, temascal, or temescal. If you haven’t tried it before, this is a great chance to learn more about all the physical and mental benefits you can reap from a temazcal experience.
Ancestral Singing and Mexican Dance
In addition to enjoying a traditional temazcal experience, Puerto Vallarta activities at the festival will include a flower ceremony and native singing in Xochil. There will also be a circle of Danza Mexicana dance that everyone can participate in.

Since the band’s formation in 2007, Ampersan performs traditional music of Mexico using cultural exchanges and field work, as well as being involved in sound experimentation and incursions into contemporary academic music.
