SEPT 12Th:VISIT CHINCHERO. INTRODUCTION TO MAMA COCA AND THE ORACLE
Today, we head to Chinchero, known as the “Hometown of the Rainbow.” This small Andean village, set high in the plains with breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley, is renowned for its traditional weaving. As we walk through the village, we’ll meet skilled artisans, learn about the ancient weaving techniques passed down for generations, and have a chance to bring home some beautiful handmade pieces. We’ll spend time with masters who will introduce us to Mama Coca, a revered plant spirit in Andean culture that connects people to wisdom and the spiritual world.
In a heartfelt ceremony to honor Pachamama, Mother Earth, we’ll make a small offering and reflect on the harmony between nature and our lives, feeling inspired to carry this sense of gratitude and respect with us long after we leave.

SEPT 13Th: QUILLARUMIYOQ & WACHUMA
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 Moray, we make our way to the salt mines of Maras, where we’ll see thousands of small, terraced salt ponds that have been harvested for centuries. The shimmering salt pools against the backdrop of the Andes are a peaceful and awe-inspiring sight, a true testament to the harmony between the people and the land.
After this unforgettable journey, we’ll return to Cusco, carrying with us the rich history and beauty of the Sacred Valley.
