                       Peru, Itinerary and Travel Program

Day 1: Our journey begins with the rising morning sun when we meet our new ayllu (community) in the beautiful city Cusco, called “the ancient city of two worlds.” Our Andean guides will provide an overview of our upcoming travels and the ascent we will be making into the sacred mountains, before exploring Cusco.  After making our way down the narrow cobblestone streets in the old city, we will stop for lunch at one of the local restaurants sitting on the perimeter of the rustic plaza. There will be an optional visit to the market of the P’aqos, in the local San Pedro market, referred to by Westerners as the “witches market”, to buy coca leaves, ingredients for ceremonies, last-minute gear, and other miscellaneous supplies for the journey ahead. There will be time for casual sightseeing, followed by an opening dinner at the popular restaurant Jack’s, for some fabulous food and great company.

Day 2: Our work with the powerful Altomesayoq, Adolpho begins. (The Altomesayoqs or “high shamans” have the ability to call and work directly with the Apus (collective mountain spirits). In the morning, Adolpho will begin teaching us about Incan cosmology. After a session of energy work with Adolpho, we will have lunch at the restaurant La Casita de Apus. In the afternoon, Adolpho will teach us ritual. Our ayllu will participate in the ritual of hallpay, making coca leaf offerings for the Apus and Pachamama (Mother Earth), to begin to build the energetic connection of kausay (life force), by being in ayni, or right relationship.  (Lunch Included. Dinner not included. Overnight in Cusco.)

Day 3: Our early morning departure takes us to Huanakauri, a sacred Inca place of power, sitting above where the old city of Cusco was founded. Our ayllu will learn about the Temple of Huanakauri and our work with Adolpho will continue to deepen in ceremony, as each member will develop further understanding of his or her own individual spiritual path. Adolpho will teach us sacred Andean traditions, through ritual and ceremony, as the energetic awakening occurring in our luminous bodies grows stronger and clearer. (Lunch included dinner not included. Overnight in Cusco.)

Day 4: We travel to the Sacred Valley of Urubamba, visiting the former Incan capital Ollantaytambo along the way, learning the Incan principles of duality and rituals of Yanantin and Masintin. Climbing the Incan trail, our footsteps lead us to the beautiful terraces that caress the ancient dwellings of Incan nobility. Here, we rest against giant stones, breathing in the view of the Urubamba River flowing below our perch, in the commanding presence of the ageless mountains. After lunch, we are off to the sacred Temple of Pachar, where we continue to strengthen our connection with Pacha llump‘to Nuna (the higher spirits). At sunset, we return to the Sacred Valley of Urubamba for dinner followed by a sacred ceremony with Adolpho and ‘Ayllu K’anchaq Qoyllur. In ceremony, our ayllu will ask the Apus and Santa Tierras for guidance on our upcoming pilgrimage to the Holy Mountains. (Lunch and dinner included. (Overnight in Urubamba.)

Day 5:   In the morning, we leave for the town of Pomacanchi, visiting Huaka de Huanca, on the way. This is the home of the Apu Pacha Tucson, the Apu with the “job description” of architect in Incan cosmology. On this powerful spot, shamans and Catholics worship together in the church, visited centuries before by the Incas as a place of devotion. Adolpho will perform ceremony at the base of the holy mountain. As we stare upward in wonder at the peak of Pacha Tucson, Adolpho will teach us the laws governing the two opposite worlds. After stopping for lunch in Huanca, we will learn about Wilki Khuyas (Wilki is the dreamer and entrance to Hanaq Pacha, the upper world). Our journey leads us to a beautiful sacred lagoon for a cleansing and purification ritual of Iniy-ch‘uyay, to prepare for our encounter with the Apus (the winged beings) and Santa Tierras (the feminine earth spirits). We will have dinner in Pomacanchi and camp over night near the lagoon. (Lunch and dinner included.)

Day 6:   We begin our day hiking to the holy place of Pumahuasi, continuing our work of building kausay, or life force in our energy bodies. We gain momentum. After lunch, Adolpho helps us to discover the secrets of Nuna, the organizing principles of spirit. We will also learn about the celestial hierarchy of the Apus, and the relationship that exists between the Santa Tierras and Pachamama (Mother Earth).  Adolpho will show the practice of the sacred ritual of Saminchakuy, Paqoq kausaynin, and explain more about the life experiences of the different ingenious medicine people following the sacred spiritual path of Andean tradition. Later in the afternoon, we will return to our base camp at the Lagoon of Pomacanchi. After dinner, we will conduct Nina qonoy, the ceremony of fire with the help of Ayllu K’anchaq Qoyllur. (Lunch and dinner included.)

Day 7:   Soon after daybreak, we approach the sacred Incan place of four lagoons. Adolpho honors us with the Kallpa hap‘inachiy initiation rites, with the support of the Mama Qochas, the sacred water spirits of the lagoon. Things start to shift. That evening, Adolpho performs the sacred Incan ceremony of Kallpa t‘aqwinakuy, for personal healing and transformation. After spending this day in the “other world” serenity of the lagoon, we camp overnight and dream with the spirits. (Lunch and dinner included.)

Day 8:   Today we make our sacred pilgrimage to the magnificent Holy Mountain of Ausangate, taking in breath-taking views as we walk in the meditative practice of yuyay manay (the organizing principle of wisdom). We will journey across this spectacular natural display of elements, feeling the powerful mountain presence at our side as we progress toward our destination of Pampa Fpaqchanta. After lunch, a rejuvenating walk leads us to where we explore the secrets of finding the essence of tukuy, for personal healing, and group life force – kausay. We experience our spiritual connection with the collective mountain spirits. Our individual work expands, learning the mysteries of the Andean p’aqos, as we arrive on sacred ground under the stars and shadows of the humbling Ausangate. A camp like no other awaits us. After a nourishing meal, Adolpho will perform the ceremony of jununakuy, bringing us into a receptive state of union and connection with the Apus. You may experience falling in love with the mountain, under the vibrant stars and magnificent snow peaks of Ausangate as an energetic pathway opens further.  (Lunch and dinner included.)

Day 9:   The day is spent reflecting, and adjusting to feeling the “afterglow” of the sacred communion with Ausangate, as we venture towards other mysterious traditions of the Andean world. Adolpho will show us the celebration ceremony of Ch n‘auchu-paqos and tukuy pacha, giving us additional knowledge about the governing spiritual laws of Incan cosmology.  After a despacho fire ceremony, we will camp at Fpaqchanta. With the help of the Ayllu K’anchaq Qoyllur, we learn to accept the new wisdom that has come to us in a state of compassion. (Lunch and dinner included.)

Day 10:  Waking up at our final destination, Cusco, we honor our newfound gifts during the important individual initiation of K‘anchaq Karpay (“shining light energy initiation ceremony”) led by Adolpho. This ritual follows the Andean tradition, using Andean costumes. After a relaxing lunch and leisurely afternoon in Cusco, our ayllu meets for our closing farewell dinner and ceremony to embrace the spirits of all that have shared the extraordinary with us and say our goodbyes. (Lunch and dinner included.)
