The very foundation of Andean philosophy rests on the knowing of the Divine as Feminine, as well as knowing the Masculine and That Which Is beyond gender. Ancient Andean tradition experiences Mother as lovable and very approachable. Today she is such a necessary part of humanity's healing and survival on earth. Lake Titicaca, known by the native Aymara as Mamacota (Mother Lake), is one of earth's strongest natural shrines of feminine energies. Now you are invited to go there to celebrate with her priestesses. Our professional guides are local women as well.
This journey supports the creating of the Munay T'ika Healing Center. This is a place where the traditional native healing will be practiced and shared.
Your Itinerary
Day 1: Arriving in the afternoon or at night, depending on your flight, you will be met at the airport by one of our Lima guides, look for the red bandanna. They will take you to the Lima Sheraton;
Day 2: With our Lima guide you will return to the airport, usually just before 5:00am, for your flight to Cusco. Sorry about the early hour but it must be in order to catch the train to Machu Picchu where you start your journey at the lowest altitude. From there we slowly make our way up to the heights, allowing most people to adjust easily.
From Cusco we drive 2-hours down to the Urubamba Valley and the very Andean village of Ollantaytambo where we will catch the 2-hr train to Machu Picchu. That afternoon you will be in the ruins (or take another nap if you haven't already along the way). Below the ruins, down by the river, we will stay in Aguas Calientes, a great little tropical fiesta village with hot springs. Here we stay two nights at Gringo Bill. Includes: (B);
Day 3: This will be a full day of Machu Picchu. Through many millennia Machu Picchu has served as an initiatory center for students of a higher learning. The ancient sacred site is fed by a grid of powerful natural energies patterned by the surrounding peaks above and from extensive caverns below.
While many succeeding cultures built at Machu Picchu, its origins are seen in the megalithic (gigantic stone) structures left by an ancient highly advanced people many thousands of years vanished. Our guide in the ruins, Kucho, shares information of the traditions taught to him by a by a local Andean master shaman. Includes: (B), (D);
Day 4: Moving slower this morning, going back up to the ruins if you wish, many people choose to walk along the river to enjoy the rain forest, there are waterfalls to be visited and a sacred peak to climb. Then the late afternoon train returns us up the Urubamba River to Ollantaytambo.
Here you will meet with a local woman wise in the ways of herbal and native natural healing traditions. If you wish you can go into individual diagnosis and later return for treatment. We will stay two nights at the healing center and hotel Hampi. Includes: (B), (D);
Day 5: We will start the day in the megalithic ruins known to have been a landing pad of the ancient ones, a pre-cataclysmic power spot. In the afternoon, at the healing center, a native shaman will lead us in our first ceremony of cleansing and connection. A herbal sauna will be offered this night. Includes: (B);
Day 6: In the morning you can rest in the countryside nature of our healing center or go visit the charming village of Ollantaytambo that still sits on its pre-Inca stone foundations. Late morning we begin a 2-hr ride to Cusco. Along the way we will stop at Grandmother's house in the village of Chinchero to share a traditional meal with a native Quechua/Inca family.
This evening we immerse ourselves in the strong energies of the nightly plaza fiesta of Cusco, a plaza with party tradition of many thousands of years. There we will stay two nights at the hotel Arqueologo. Includes: (B), (D);
Day 7: In Cusco we will visit various megalithic temples to immerse you in the geo-energy wisdom of the ancient ancestors. They built these temples on natural power sites with perfectly fitted stones weighing in excess of 300 tons! Also to be seen are the many hundreds of most enigmatic machine like carvings in the living rock, perhaps this is evidence of a industrial civilization dating thousands of years prior to the Inca Empire. In the evening local women will be guiding us through the fascinating markets near the main plaza. This is a great place for shopping for the crafts have been gathered here from all over Peru. Includes: (B);
Day 8: In the morning we'll fly to La Paz, Bolivia. Then we drive 3-hrs to Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. Through the ages, Andean peoples have made pilgrimages to this village sacred to Mamacota, the Mother Lake. We stay two nights at La Cupula. Includes: (B);
Day 9: An easy day, late morning we can climb the sacred hill to meet with local Yatitis, native Aymara shamans. From them you can receive Incenso, a ritual of incense, smoke, chant and prayer for cleansing and supplication. There is also great shopping for Bolivian crafts in Copacabana.
Day 10: After lunch in town we leave to boat 2-hrs to the Island of the Moon and the Temple of the Priestesses. This is one of our planet's most powerful centers of feminine energy, with energies eminently effective and available.
We will stay the night at our traveler's home with the island family who are the keepers of the temple. There is no electricity or indoor plumbing on the island. So we enjoy the romance of candlelight at night. The simplicity of an outhouse and washcloth bathing (bring one) works well enough for an overnight visit.
Day 11: In the morning we will boat back to Copacabana. From Copacabana we leave for a 3-hr drive returning to Peru. Along the way we experience a Temple Portal (recently labeled the Gateway of Amara Muru). The natives know the portal is an inter-dimensional gateway serving as a connection with another world, perhaps with the ancestors. It is carved into red cliff stone in an area traditionally known for its radiating lines of geo-energy.
Then we go to stay in Chucuito, Peru, an old and traditional village above a large bay. For those who choose coca leaf psychic readings will be offered. We stay two nights at Las Cabaņas. Includes: (B), (D);
Day 12: In the peaceful village we visit a woman who is an Aymara Yatiti, a native ceremonial healer. She also will build the powerful ceremony of 'Offering to the Pachamama'. The energies created by this traditional form of worship and magic have quite often resulted in dramatic life changes and answers to prayers. Includes: (B), (L), (D);
Day 13: In the morning we will leave for a 3-hr boat ride to the Island Amantani. It is a wonderfully traditional island with no roads or electricity, thus again candlelight and washcloths. We will stay in rooms prepared in the homes of native families. Includes: (B), (L), (D);
Day 14: In the morning we will climb to two extremely old temples, one dedicated to the Divine Mother, Pachamama and the other to the Divine Father, Pachatata. After lunch with the island families we will boat to Puno near to Chucuito on the mainland; along the way we will stop to visit a floating island village of the Uros. That night we stay near town at the Eco Inn. Includes: (B), (L), (D);
Day 15: A 1/2 hr drive from town we will go through a fantastic area of white bad-lands, an area of high magnetic charge where the locals say there are ghosts. There at the mesa of Cutimbo we will visit the megalithic ceremonial power towers built by the highly advanced ancient ones.
Returning to Puno we pick up your bags, then a 40-min. drive to the airport in Juliaca to catch an afternoon flight to Lima. If you chose, our Lima guides can take you out on the town for a while, then back to the airport to meet your departing flight home. Includes: (B).
