Friends,
The
constant search for the magnificent past
of my ancestors has taken me through the
different regions of Peru, where I have
found natural places of great beauty as
well as Inka temples full of mystery and
radiance. I am lucky to have been born
in the Andes, and specially in Cusco which
was the spiritual center and capital of
the great Inka culture, still called Qosqo
- the Navel of the World. Here , I discovered
nature and its elements, the mountains
and jungles with their spirits, and the
Andean and Amazon peoples, who, like their
wise ancestors, are full of simplicity
and respect for everything which surrounds
them. |

Throughout
my travels in the Andes and the coast
of Peru, and my explorations of the Amazon,
I have found many natives with great knowledge,
and studied their philosophy and wisdom.
I invited them to give several conferences
in the United States where we were able
to meet with native peoples from many
regions of the world. These events culminated
with an invitation to give a conference
in the White House in Washington during
1995. |
This
extensive background gives me a detailed
knowledge of my country, and through PumaPeru
Expeditions I can impart a way to explore
Peru in a deep, inner fashion that displays
the essence of several marvelous cultures
Inka, Pre-inka and Amazonic, along with
the powerful natural scenery that each
region presents in its own spectacular
show. This mixture will make your visit
to Peru the journey of a lifetime, full
of interesting experiences with a seasoning
of adventure, ecology, culture and even
the truly sacred. |

There
are surprises in store for all those
who explore Peru, a land of mystery
and tradition located in the heart
of the Andes. Peru has many diverse
environments. There are the coastal
deserts with their fertile valleys
watered by rivers flowing down from
the Andes. Snow peaks and massive
mountains in the
center
of the country guard the most enchanting
and marvelous Inka cities and temples.
In the east are low-lying jungles.
Here large areas have been declared
national parks and ecological reserves
due to a great diversity of plant
and animal species; many of these
are not only unique but are also
in danger of extinction. And if
these riches were not enough, we
can study culture, philosophy and
art joined together in ancestral
traditions dating back more than
two thousand years. |
