NELIDA VILCA HUAMAN
“I was born with family origins from Apurimac (the Apu who speaks) and from Chumbivilcas, a lineage of warrior healers.
I met Maestro Puma in 2010, when he began teaching and eventually initiated me in the path of Qapaq Ñan. Since then, I’ve been walking the medicine path and sharing the knowledge, ceremonies, offerings and mesa work in Chinchero.
My specialty is working with the Ñustas, the powerful divine feminine forces of Mother Earth – I wish for all medicine women to shine proudly and brightly with Pachamama.”

ALFREDO HUAYTA SINGONA
“When I was first aquainted with the medicine path, I didn't know how many changes it would bring to my life. I rediscovered the potential I have to transform overwhelming proccesses and bring in healing for myself and others. It was the first time that I really felt passion for my service and it brought me down a powerful road of forgiveness and self-love.
I love working from my own experiences to guide my global family through difficult situations - to help their processes become easier to navigate for themselves.”

MAGALY QUISPE SINGONA
“My grandfather, Papakay, taught our entire family the importance of being in communion with mother earth and the Apus.
At 17, I was invited to participate in my first Ayahuasca ceremony with Puma and his maestro in the Amazonian jungle. It was a life changing experience from which I began my spiritual path – becoming conscious of our ancient lineage, the importance of sharing our experiences and the ancestral knowledge with our brothers and sisters around the world.
Among the many gifts of the medicine path, I found my passion in the dream realm. Since a young age, I had a powerful connection to the spirit realm within my dreams. On this sacred path I have discovered and continue to develop an amazing alliance with Sachamama, the chief of the plant kingdom – the stories and the healing energy of the plants are infinite and inspiring.”

«JIMMY» WILFREDO HUAMAN CJUIRO
“Since childhood, I have walked on this beautiful land of the rainbow where our ancestors the Incas once walked. My parents are farmers and, as a child, I would often go off alone to graze the animals on the mountainsides where I started cultivating a connection to Mother Earth and the Apus. My parents and grandparents also taught me to live in gratitude for everything the gods give us.
My Andean lineage comes from many masters and years of experience; the main maestros who strengthened my spiritual path are Don Máximo Singona, (Papakay) and Puma. Other teachers who have influenced my path are Don Sebastian, of the Q'ero, and Don Edinson Panduro, a master of plant medicine. Thanks to their teachings, I’ve dedicated my path to heal and share my knowledge, where my work is helping people to find their spiritual path unconditionally. Being calm and humble, we are able to imagine, dream and learn more in this life.”
Languages: Spanish, Quechua.
EDGAR PUMAYALI HUARHUA
“Born above the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Chinchero, I have always felt deeply connected with the mountain spirits. I grew up as Maestro Puma's brother, living in Cusco with his family and receiving the profound wisdom of Papakay's lineage from an early age.
My passion to share our culture prompted me to pursue a career as a tour guide, which I've proudly been doing for over 15 years. It's been a blessing to walk the temples of our ancestors and explore the medicine path left behind in every stone.
I am excited to continue opening my heart and sharing the legacy of our ancestors with love and light.”

MIGUEL S. VERGARA UGARTE
“I am mastering my path to heal and share my knowledge. It is a great privilege that my job is to help people who are walking their spiritual path, unconditionally. I like to imagine and dream and learn more in this life.
Inspired by the Andean Culture’s rich tapestry and deep respect for Pachamama, I passionately guide spiritual groups on transformative journeys to share timeless wisdom with our global family.”
