This 10 day Journey will
take us high into the Andes and to Machu Picchu to work with
a Wachuma Shaman. We will explore the beautiful city of
Cusco and travel through and explore the Sacred Valley in
our own private van., then on to Machu Picchu. After
Machu Picchu, we will fly to Puno to experience ceremonies
on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the highest natural lake in
the world. This is an ideal Journey for a physically and
emotionally fit person
who has had experience with Shamanic healing and wants to go
to a new and deeper level.
Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive in Cusco and get settled in hotel.
Cusco is at an altitude of 11,300 feet, so taking the
first day or two slowly is essential for most people.
Day 2 - Tour sites in Cusco, both
from the colonial period and from the Incan period.
Day 3 - Continue to explore Cusco.
Cusco is also an amazing center for art and crafts, so
we'll do some shopping today as well.
Day 4 - We'll leave early in the
morning for the Sacred Valley. First we'll stop at
a center for traditional clothing. Here we will be
able to interact with llamas and alpacas, see how their
wool is dyed, spun, and woven, and have the opportunity
to buy clothing and tapestries of the highest quality.
First we'll see the market at Pisac and hike the ruins
high above the city. Then we'll visit the
city and ruins at Ollyantaytambo. We'll spend the night
in the city of Ollyantaytambo, sharing an authentic
Andean meal, or perhaps pizza!
Day 5 - We'll catch the first train
to Aguas Callientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu.
We'll quickly get settled in our hotel, meet the Shaman
who will be our guide, and take the bus up the hill to
Machu Picchu. We'll spend the day exploring the
ruins and sitting in meditation and ceremony. We'll wait
till sunset and then catch one of the last busses down
the hill. Then we'll share dinner.
Day 6 - The hardy, fit and bold will
have the opportunity to climb Apu Machu Picchu, the tall
mountain from which the ruins received their name.
We'll spend several hours on top of the mountain in
meditation and ceremony. Here we'll have a chance
to see an offrenda (offering), containing all of
our prayers beautifully created by the shaman.
After we climb down the mountain, we'll
continue to explore the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu until
closing, if time and energy allows.
