Initiation ceremony and Journey to Sacred Valley

Route: Cusco → Urubamba

Upon your arrival, our Pumadventures team will be waiting at the airport for you, holding a Pumadventures sign with your name on it. From the airport, we will begin on our adventure northwest, to make our way to Sacsayhuamán. Here, we will dig deep into the mystery as well as legends surrounding this impressive Inca site. Look at spectacular stone walls and find how this architectural wonder was built.

Next, your guide will guide you to a close cave, known as the Cosmic Mother’s Womb, where you shall undergo a rebirth process, linking with the energies of Pachamama (Mother Earth). At the Temple of Condor, we will participate within a private Andean Initiation Ceremony for honoring the Rainbow and all ancestral lineages. During such ceremony, you are going to connect up with this sacred trilogy of Incas – Puma, Serpent, and Condor – and explore a miracle of each power animal.

The adventure then continues to the Sacred Valley. A scenic two-hour drive will bring you to your hotel, where one can rest and reflect on experiences.

IMPORTANT NOTE

We recommend arriving into Cusco around noon, give or take, if doable, to ensure one smooth and improving experience during that day.

Reconnecting within and Offering to Mother Earth

Route: Urubamba → Moray → Chinchero → Urubamba

Today we start our visit with Moray, our bus will take us for a visit to the captivating Incan site of this town, 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.

Continuing our journey, we drive towards the hometown of the rainbow – Chinchero (this is our lunch spot) 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. You will also participate in the Despacho ceremony to reconnect with Pachamama and gratitude.

Discovering The Old Temple

Route: Aguas Calientes → Ollantaytambo → Ñaupa Iglesia → Cusco

After  breakfast, we walk to the train station for our train to Ollantaytambo, following the spectacular Urubamba River. The canyon is narrow and the river has many beautiful sections of whitewater, on our arrival we go to Ollantaytambo Inca Site, known as The Sanctuary of the Wind, an ancient observatory and ceremonial center set amongst impressive hillside terraces. 

Visit the Temple of the Sun and also the Royal Baths and Fountains for a shamanic energy experience where we will connect with the elements of earth, water, air, and fire. We then make our way along the murmuring river to the Temple of the Condor for a few moments of reflection and silent meditation.

Afterwards, we drive to reach the fascinating Ñaupa Iglesia, better known as Choquequilla, we have to walk about 18 minutes up the hillside to reach the incredible Inca constructions. The archaeological site of Choquequilla or Ñaupa Church is the ceremonial center of Ñaupa Iglesia or Choqella, which means “the old temple where gold shines.” It is an ancestral ceremonial-religious site and the enigmatic temple of the Incas, unique due to its construction, details, and location. Ñaupa Iglesia was used in Inca times to perform rituals on Earth, the cosmos, and parallel worlds.

After ascending the path and reaching the middle of the platforms of Ñaupa Iglesia, you enter a trapezoidal-shaped mountain cave, where the main temple and a set of rocky windows stand out. There you will feel the powerful ancient energy, as elders share that this place is a vortex and powerful portal to discover.

After we finish our tour we will come back to Cusco for the night.
