COPAL CLEANSE TOUR
Copal is a common tree that can be found in Belize and the tree’s resin was used by the ancient Maya civilization to cleanse people and places of bad energy. The word copal is derived from the Nahuatl language word copalli, meaning “incense”. Whereas the Maya used the resin to burn during their rituals, modern society still utilizes the resin to burn and create a tranquil environment. Copal also serves as chewing gum, glue, and as a substance to purify meats. In its medicinal component, it can also be used for treating toothache, fever, and inflammatory conditions. On this tour offered right in town at San Ignacio Resort Hotel, travelers who have the privilege to partake in such a new experience share they end up feeling lighter and cleansed of negative energy. Encircling the smoke around you, the ancient Mayan ritual is said to ward off any ill intentions or even self-sabotage.
