S/.260.00
"Before the stones, there was the spirit. This journey is a sacred invitation to reconnect with the Earth and the ancient vibrations that still pulse through the mountains. Led by an anthropologist with roots in traditional healing, we go beyond sight-seeing to achieve a deep, personal resonance with the land. To honor this connection and your own body’s rhythm, we depart at 8:00 AM—a mindful start that allows you to rest, reflect, and embrace the valley's energy without the typical morning rush".
The Sanctuary of Compassion (Cochahuasi):
Our first encounter is with the souls of the forest and the mountains. We visit a dedicated rescue sanctuary for animals that have been given a second chance.
Here, you will meet spectacled bears, pumas, Andean deer, vicuñas, and colorful macaws. The highlight is witnessing the majestic Andean Condors; you’ll learn about the vital efforts to reintroduce some of these sacred birds back into the wild. It’s a lesson in respect and harmony with our fellow living beings.
Písac: The Architecture of Eternity:
We immerse ourselves in the grandeur of Písac. While this site is a magnet for travelers from around the world, its energy remains undeniable. We will explore the massive terraces and the ancient cemetery, deciphering the anthropological secrets of how our ancestors lived in perfect dialogue with the mountains.
The Living Heart of the Market:
A sensory stop at the Písac Traditional Market. A place of vibrant colors and ancestral heritage where the community’s artistic spirit continues to thrive.
Private Picnic in the Valley:Your journey begins with a private pickup from your hotel in Cusco. After a short 20-minute drive, we arrive at a sacred 'Huaca' within the Sacsayhuaman National Park, a serene site far from the tourist crowds.
Ollantaytambo: The Pulse of an Unbroken Lineage
We conclude at the legendary Living Inca Town. Ollantaytambo is not a ruin; it is a community that never stopped being Inca. We will walk through its original stone streets where the ancient water channels still flow, telling stories of an unbroken lineage that has survived for centuries. It is the closest you will get to walking through the history of our ancestors.
