This journey will allow us have unusual teachings with the guidance old Q’ero Native Healers who live in the Sacred Andes; "The Apu Pachatusan Sacred Mountain" has an special energy which awakes our intention to participate in ancient rituals, meditations, and healings.

Sacred Apu Pachatusan

The journey starts in Cusco and its historic surroundings. Day trips to the Sacred Valley of the Incas will ease your adaptation to the altitude of this region. We will visit the ruins in the vicinity and participate in rituals to connect with the spirit of the land, accompanied by local musicians playing some of the most sacred and pure Incan music. We then venture to Apu Pachatusan where we camp while working with Q'ero Healers. "Apu" is the name given to the sacred mountains where spirits are housed and the name Pachatusan combines the words for 'earth' and 'the center for equilibrium'. We then continue our journey to Machu Picchu and explore the mystery of this historic site, including a night ritual in this sacred temple of Machupicchu under the protection of the stars like the Southern Cross and the Llama Eyes.
