This journey is a deep dive into the heart and soul of the Inca world, where ancient spirits and timeless landscapes are your guides. Beginning in the Sacred Valley, you’ll feel the presence of the Andean spirits and take part in ceremonies honoring Pachamama, the earth mother, grounding you in the land’s powerful energy. In the villages of Chinchero and Moray, you’ll meet local people, learn ancient traditions, and make offerings to Mother Earth, all while surrounded by stunning Andean views. At Ollantaytambo, the «Sanctuary of the Wind,» you’ll connect with the elements at sacred sites, and in the mystical sanctuary of Machu Picchu, you’ll feel a profound sense of wonder and peace as you explore this sacred Inca city. Your journey concludes in Cusco, where sacred sites like Sacsayhuamán and Coricancha will leave you with a renewed sense of balance, clarity, and a deep connection to the wisdom of the Incas.
Our journey begins in Cusco, where we will be met at the airport and transferred directly to the Sacred Valley. On the way, we will gather for our Welcome Lunch featuring traditional Peruvian cuisine. By coming down in altitude and starting your journey in the Sacred Valley, we will feel refreshed, energized, and ready for the days ahead. Once settled into your beautiful hotel, you will have an introductory meeting to go over all the exciting activities we have planned for your journey. We will also enjoy a short Welcome Ceremony involving a clearing of the personal energy field and reconnecting with the Andean spirits.

Meals: Lunch
Today, feeling refreshed after a relaxing night at our hotel, we continue our energy work with ceremonies and healing rituals. Our team will discuss Andean Cosmovision and traditional Andean Healing Arts, guiding us through rituals of welcoming and reconnecting with the ancestral spirits of the Andes.
This full day of energy work will allow us to feel fully immersed in ancestral traditions and deepen our connection to our inner self as well as the land we are visiting. We will also learn about the concepts of Nogan Kani and Ayni, the latter being a fundamental aspect of Andean Cosmovision that allows us to better understand the unique reciprocal relationship the Andean peoples have with the earth. By understanding that love is always a reciprocal relationship (love for people, nature, the planet), we can reassess our relationships and how we treat ourselves and the world around us.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Today we visit the hometown of the rainbow – Chinchero, a small village located high up in the windswept plains, offering spectacular views over the Sacred Valley and the snow capped peaks of the Andes. Renowned for its beautiful traditional weavings, this town is the perfect place to pick up souvenirs and gifts. Here, we immerse ourselves in the local community, meeting village elders and the friendly local inhabitants. We will also work on an offering to Pachamama, when we will share gifts and healing practices that will have a lasting impact on your everyday lives back home.
After lunch in Chinchero, our bus will take us for a visit to the captivating Incan site of Moray, six hundred meters above Urubamba. This ancient site contains unusual Inca ruins, large circular terraces, and a sunken Amphitheater. The circular terraces were used for agriculture and were created as a type of open greenhouse consisting of tropical microclimates. As Moray was also considered the womb of Mother Earth, it was thought to be the best place to initiate healers. Here, we will experience another connection with the sacred feminine energy for healing our physical bodies and our emotional temples.

After breakfast, we’ll travel to Ollantaytambo, known as the «Sanctuary of the Wind,» an ancient observatory and ceremonial center nestled among impressive hillside terraces. We’ll visit the Temple of the Sun, as well as the Royal Baths and Fountains, where we will have a shamanic energy experience, connecting with the elements of earth, water, air, and fire. Following the flowing river, we’ll make our way to the Temple of the Condor for moments of reflection and silent meditation.
In the afternoon, after lunch, we’ll head to Ollantaytambo train station to embark on a scenic train journey along the Urubamba River to the charming village of Aguas Calientes, or Machu Picchu Pueblo. Once we check in to our hotel, you can enjoy a relaxed evening to prepare for tomorrow’s sacred visit to Machu Picchu.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, we make our way by bus to the sanctuary of Machu Picchu for our spiritual awakening. This Cristal Condor sacred site is an inspiring and beautiful place, an architectural wonder, and a great testament to the Incan Civilization. Once used primarily as an astronomical Observatory and place of pilgrimage, Machu Picchu now attracts thousands of visitors each year to connect with the sacred energies and ancient wisdom. Because it sits within three corresponding high peaks of power, which create an energy triangle, it is a perfect spot to sit and meditate, focus your intent, and expand your awareness.
In the afternoon, we go to the Aguas Calientes train station and enjoy a scenic train ride along the Urubamba River to the hotel in Sacred Valley.

Continue to Cusco in the afternoon.
After breakfast, we will travel from Sacred Valley and cross the broad Anta Valley. In this quintessential agricultural region, we see small villages of adobe houses with thatched or red-tiled roofs, fields of grain, and herds of cattle. Leaving the main road, we will visit the Incan archaeological site of Quillarumiyoc, also known as the Temple of the Moon. This religious center contains walls, buildings, fountains, and its centerpiece, the Moonstone, a limestone boulder with a bas-relief of the moon found only here. At Quillarumiyoc, several ancient Inca trails are in excellent walking condition. We will explore the Quillarumiyoc caves, where the Incas carved and captured their representative knowledge of the ancestral spiritual ideology. Continuing the visit, we will explore the temple of the Quillarumiyoc water priest, featuring polygonal imperial Inca architecture and a mini-waterfall where we will cleanse, purify, and free the mind, putting it in a state of relaxation. The Quillarumiyoc Moon Temple is shaped like a crescent, containing the staggering sign of three levels representing the Inca trilogy. It is oriented towards the dawn to observe the solar projections, functioning as an astronomical and spiritual calendar by emanating feminine energy.
Today, we also have our first optional opportunity to work with San Pedro (Wachuma). San Pedro is a powerful and sacred – yet gentle – “teacher and healer” plant traditionally used to heal the heart in times of extreme pain and emotional hurt. It is important to work with this medicine as part of a sacred ceremony and with the protection of the ancestral spirits.
Continue to Sacred Valley in the afternoon.

After breakfast, we begin with a visit to Sacsayhuamán, where we will marvel at this architectural wonder and learn about the mystery and legends of how this stone-walled complex was constructed. Next, we will guide you through a rebirth process in a nearby cave of the Cosmic Mother, also known as the Womb of Mother Earth. We then continue to Tambomachay, a favorite resting place of the Incas, commonly referred to as the «Baños del Inca» or «Baños de la Ñusta» (Baths of the Incas or Baths of the Princess). This site, once used for ritual bathing, is believed to be a temple dedicated to the worship of water. At the Temple of the Condor, we will participate in a private Andean Initiation Ceremony to connect with the ancestral lineages. Connect with the sacred trilogy of the Incas – the Puma, Serpent, and Condor – and learn about what the Incan elders believed regarding parallel dimensions. After visiting other sacred temples around the mountain, we return to the city of Cusco for a city tour and to immerse ourselves in the smiles and laughter of the local people. Later, we visit Coricancha, one of the most revered temples, dedicated to the Sun God, whose walls and floors were once covered in sheets of solid gold. Wander the courtyard, which was once filled with golden statues.
