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 specifically, 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. |
