Itinerary

We begin our journey in Cusco, traveling through the South Valley on a scenic three-hour drive to the Pacchanta community near Ausangate Mountain. Along the way, we stop for breakfast before continuing to the community, where we are warmly welcomed by a local family. Upon arrival, you will receive a coca leaf oracle reading with our Andean shaman, offering insight and guidance for the days ahead. We then set out on horseback to explore the breathtaking mountain landscape, including a ride along a beautiful lagoons close to Ausangate mountain. We continue with spiritual cleansing ceremonies held in the powerful presence of Ausangate Mountain. In the evening, we settle into a local homestay, offering simple, clean, and comfortable accommodation. A local dinner is shared, and you will have the opportunity to learn more about the Andean way of life. The following morning, after breakfast, we will seek out a peaceful, sacred location to perform a traditional offering to Mother Earth, a ceremony centered on gratitude, intention, and connection with both nature and ourselves. After this meaningful experience, we return to Pacchanta for lunch before beginning our journey back to Cusco.
