Overview
Highlights
- QORICANCHA: Or the Temple of the Sun, holds profound significance from the Inca era, serving as a sacred site for ceremonies and offerings to the revered sun deity. Witness the architectural marvel where Inca and Spanish influences converge, with the Inca foundation harmoniously blending with the Colonial Church.
- SAQSAYHUAMAN: The “Temple of the Enlightened,” is also known as “satisfied hawk” or “great head of the puma.” This temple was for the head of administration, top military, government, and religious leaders. The enlightened head of the puma is a terrace in the shape of lightning with lithic pieces and stones brought from a quarry 25 km southeast of Cusco, weighing approximately 120 tons. At this temple, you can connect with the power of leadership, the enlightened mind, and enlightened consciousness. Here, the Andean people give homage to Father Sun and Mother Earth and keep ancestral ceremonies, rituals, and offerings of gratitude alive.
- OFFERING - DESPACHO CEREMONY: A living bridge from between our hearts and the spirit of Pachamama, Mother Earth. It is a sacred conversation with the whole universe. We express with gratitude, ask for blessings, and restore harmony in our lives in one deep way.
- THE SACRED VALLEY: Held a pivotal role as the artery of the Inca Empire, serving as a nexus for spiritual ceremonies and bountiful agricultural activities. The valley, adorned with agricultural terraces, boasts an unexpectedly warm climate amidst the lofty Andean peaks, making it a fertile ground for abundant crop yields.
- MACHU PICCHU: is a citadel built on top of the mountains right above the Willka Mayu or Willka Nota River, where the altar of Apu Salkantay, the most important mountain spirit god of the Inca people, resides. Built with white granite in the shape of the condor, and known as the crystal condor, the myth and legend is that the crystal condor carries the soul of the people of this Earth to the sun of divine origins. In Machu Picchu, you can connect with your original soul purpose and learn what you need to manifest in this lifetime, to leave as an offering and a legacy for generations to come. Machu Picchu is the temple of liberation, self-realization, and enlightenment, and honors the most important constellation of the Inca people — the southern cross constellation — also known as the heart of the Milky Way.
- RAINBOW MOUNTAIN: Marvel the vibrant natural colors of the breathtaking Rainbow Mountain hike. An opportunity to interact with Quechua people, who proudly preserve their beautiful traditional culture as you trek through the stunning Andean valley.
- AUSANGATE WITH MASTER WACHUMA: gives us the opportunity to learn how people leave in remote areas of our region, and connect with our most powerful guardian – Apu Ausangate, we will be in ceremony with master Wachuma.

Exploring the Mystical Pathways
Route: Cusco. After breakfast, we begin our travels at Sacsayhuamán, a construction marvel filled with mystery and legend. While walking in the middle of its huge stone facades, we will find the engaging past and elaborate building methods which still foster wonder.
Next, we enter a place of deep transformation, as well as then we subsequently guide you through a rebirth process in a sacred cave of the Cosmic Mother. This cave is universally known also as the Womb of Mother Earth—a space that allows universally for renewal and connection. Our overall path subsequently leads nearly all of us toward Tambomachay, a very serene retreat favored highly by the Incas, often suitably called then «Baños del Inca» or «Baños de la Ñusta» (Baths of those Incas or Baths of that Princess). Once a place for ritual purification, this holy site is thought to be a temple for water worship.
We shall participate in one special Andean Initiation Ceremony at the Temple of the Condor, a deep event linking us to the knowledge of ancestral lines. We do indeed pay tribute to that holy Incan triad—Puma, Serpent, and Condor—and then study that old faith in alternate realities. Following our visits onto various temples set in mountains nearby, we go back toward Cusco, where we soak up the city’s bright feel and the kindness of its people.
We visit Coricancha, which is deemed as one of the most revered temples within the Incan Empire, being dedicated toward the Sun God. Once adorned along the walls as well as across floors covered entirely in sheets of solid gold, this sacred site was a complete declaration to Incan devotion. As we carefully wander through its particular courtyard, formerly filled with many golden statues, we reflect back on the very grandeur as well as spiritual depth of this extraordinary place.

Meals: Breakfast
Offering to Mother Earth and Visit Chinchero with Moray
Route: Cusco → Chinchero → Moray → Urubamba.
Today, we left to take an adventure to Chinchero, a pretty small town known as home to rainbows. It is located about forty minutes away from Cusco, offering views of Sacred Valley, plus peaks in the distance such as Apu Veronica, Salkantay, and Sawasiray. Chinchero is quite famous for its very rich textile traditions, as well as it’s certainly still the perfect place to reconnect with yourself and learn about Andean Cosmovision and healing techniques.
As we go forth through the village, we will meet with some elders along with the locals who are happy for sharing their way of life. A special segment from our visit includes taking part of in a Despacho ceremony, which is a very ancient ritual for gratitude as well as connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth). It is such a wondrous feeling, which always calls us to pause, to ponder, as well as to cherish our real world.
After in fact enjoying such a lunch in Chinchero, we’ll hop onto a bus and then head toward Moray, an Incan site located at meters above Urubamba. These quite massive, circular terraces, cut deeply into the Earth just as a natural amphitheater, were then used only as just an agricultural testing ground, creating greatly different microclimates in order to then grow different crops. Moray is far more than merely a farming innovation. Instead, it was as well regarded as the womb of Mother Earth; this remains a sacred space for transformation and healing. At this location, we shall pause briefly to join with the female power of nature, taking its talent to feed spirit and physique.
We will conclude our entire trip by nightfall. We will hold the Andes’ total wonder and the complete sagacity of holy places.

Throughout our adventure, we pause so that we can visit the majestic Rainbow Mountain, Vinicunca, a natural wonder well-known for all of its energetic, mineral-rich layers which paint the landscape in such stunning hues.
As we continue our drive, we pass through several picturesque Andean villages such as Urcos, Cattca, and Ocangate, each offering glimpses into customary highland life.

Our adventure truly leads each of us to the Apacheta, a sacred passage between mountains and valleys, where we offer prayers and gratitude to the powerful Apus (mountain spirits) and Mamacochas (sacred lagoons), seeking their blessing and protection.
From here, we descend to the crystalline waters of Otorongo Cocha as well as Ancash Cocha, where we take a moment for purification plus renewal. Immersing ourselves in with the energy of these sacred lagoons, we align with the powerful presence of Apu Ausangate, allowing its ancient wisdom to cleanse and revitalize us.
