Shamanic Q'eros Trip with Ancient Traditions and Plant Medicine (7 Days)

Today, we will pick you up at Cusco Airport and transfer you to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax, settle in, and acclimatize to the altitude. No activities are scheduled for today.

After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll drive up to the upper part of Cusco and continue to the Moon Temple with our local guide and Andean priest (Q’eros shamanic healer).

Once at the site, we’ll explore the sacred Inca temples and take in the breathtaking landscapes, while our guide shares the intentions and spiritual significance behind these places.

At the Moon Temple, our Q’eros Maestro will perform a blessing ceremony, asking permission from the Apus – the sacred mountains – and gently opening your mind and spirit for the journey ahead. This is also a beautiful moment to set your personal intention for the trip.

Afterward, we’ll return to the city center by transport, giving you time to relax and unwind at your hotel in Cusco.

In the early morning, around 5:00 am, we will pick you up for the journey to the local community of Q’eros, located in the Cusqueñan province of Paucartambo. The drive takes approximately five hours.

Along the way, we will stop in Paucartambo to enjoy a local breakfast at the market. You can try a traditional local breakfast or opt for a fresh juice while taking time to explore and experience the market.

Upon arrival, the Maestros will welcome us warmly and show you around, including the sleeping arrangements. Life in Q’eros moves at its own gentle rhythm, allowing us time to explore the community and learn about their customs and traditional way of life. Our Q’eros shaman will then offer a coca leaf reading for spiritual guidance, during which you may ask questions related to your personal life, health, relationships, projects, or any other topic important to you.

Later, we will enjoy a delicious local lunch. Our shaman will share deeper insights into his traditions and the Andean cosmovision. As evening falls, we will share dinner and retire early, in alignment with the community’s tradition of resting when night descends.

After a local breakfast, our Q’eros shamanic healer will guide the day’s session, sharing ancient wisdom and traditions. The focus of the day is energetic cleansing.

Depending on the weather and your preferences, we may choose a shorter or longer hike in the high Andes. Along the way, the shaman will select a peaceful spot by a river, surrounded by mountains, where he will carry out the cleansing rituals. Using stones from the river and ruda herbs, the ceremony centers on release and forgiveness. This is followed by a flowering ceremony with yellow flowers, dedicated to welcoming positive and renewing energies.

Afterwards, we will enjoy lunch and, depending on the weather and your energy level, take part in additional activities. The itinerary remains intentionally flexible and unfolds organically, co-created with you and your guide.

The day ends with dinner and an early night of rest.

Today, after breakfast, we will end our Q’eros adventure with a Mother Earth Offering – a ceremony expressing gratitude. Following this, we will take our private 5-hour drive to Urubamba in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Here, we’ll spend the night at a scenic lodge surrounded by nature.

Today is a very special day: we will participate in a sacred San Pedro Ceremony. San Pedro, or Wachuma, is a powerful plant that aids in reconnecting with ourselves and nature, offering new insights into our personal lives. Accompanied by our translator and shamanic healer, we will journey to a special location surrounded by the Sacred Mountains.

The ceremony involves taking the medicine and lasts approximately 8 hours, with our shaman present throughout. In the afternoon, we will have dinner and return to our hotel to rest.

After breakfast, we will take you to the airport for your domestic flight. ¡Feliz viaje!
