This trip has been specially designed to cover mysterious and natural places: The mysterious Nazca Lines, The Colca Canyon and the Amazing Machu Picchu. We will begin exploring the land of the ancient Nazca culture in the extensive desert plains of coastal Peru, with a highly advanced technique of drawing gigantic figures in the desert shingle, hundreds of kilometers are filled with drawings of animals like the spider, the monkey, the whale, the condor, the hummingbird and other geometric figures that even today are studied for their true significance. One of the few people who was able to decipher the mystery of these lines is the mathematician, Maria Reiche, based on her studies, we will cover the most prominent places to get a better understanding of these mysterious lines, but the best part of this trip will be the flight over these lines – a truly exceptional experience, for only by flying like the majestic Condor can one fully appreciate the stunning precision of the lines and figures.

Deep Meditation with Apu Machupicchu and Apu Waynapicchu Then our journey will take us to one of the deepest gorges of the world, The Colca Canyon, twice the depth of the Grand Canyon, a natural area surrounded by snow capped peaks, and volcanoes, where there are special places like the Cruz del Condor, a viewpoint to look for the majestic Sacred Andean Condor. The trip continues to the ancient city of Cusco, hiking to Huchuy Qosqo, a fascinating Inka Site, a sacred temple constructed on a small plateau which has one of the most impressive views of the Sacred Valley of the Inkas. Finally this journey will take us to the marvelous stone city of Machu Picchu, built with incredible engineering.

Each one of its stones was chosen specially so it joins with its neighboring stones with a delicacy and skill that the ancient Andean peoples perfected. Yet, Machu Picchu stands as the perfect complement to Nature, harmonizing its exquisite design with surrounding sacred mountains and rivers. This stage of the journey will also pass through the Sacred Valley of the Inkas and the ancient city of Cusco, capital of the land of the Inkas.
