It’s the end of the (Mayan) world as we know it, so why not spend it at the spa?

To commemorate the year 2012 and the end of the Mayan calendar on 12/21/12, some top Cancun spas are offering Mayan-inspired spa treatments that are so relaxing, you might not care about the alleged end of the world, either.

Le Blanc Spa Resort

Kukulkan Massage: “Initiates with shamanic purification ritual that cleanses the body from stress and tension. This is a four hand massage performed by two therapists that incorporates special movements and manipulations that represents the Jaguar, keeper of the underworld; the serpent, earth and present time; and the eagle, heaven and the sacred. This massage is also designed to release muscular tension, physical blockage and stress.”

Live Aqua Cancun
Temazcal treatment: “Steam bath based on traditional healing methods. The origins of Temazcal begin in center of Mexico and the Yucatan region. The ancient ritual is conducted by a Mayan shaman and has been used for centuries to achieve space physical, emotional, mental and spiritual purification.”
