Shamanic Q'eros Trip with Ancient Traditions and Plant Medicine (6 Days)

We will pick you up and take you to your hotel in the historic city center of Cusco. In the afternoon, we’ll embark on a brief walk to the Moon Temple with our local guide and Andean priest (Q’eros shamanic healer). Passing by numerous sacred sites, we’ll soak in the breathtaking landscapes and connect with Mother Earth (Pachamama). Our Q’eros Maestro will perform a Blessing Ceremony, seeking permission from the Apus (Sacred Mountains) and Mother Nature, opening your mind and spirit for the upcoming journey. Seize the opportunity to set an intention for this trip. Later, we’ll return to the city center by transport, allowing you the option to either return to the hotel or explore the city on your own.

In the early morning, around 4 am, we will pick you up for our journey to the local community of Q’eros, nestled in the Cusqueñan province of Paucartambo. The drive takes approximately 4 hours. Before continuing, we will stop in the town of Paucartambo to enjoy a delicious local breakfast at the market.

Upon arriving in Q’eros, the maestros will welcome us warmly, and we will share a traditional local lunch. Life in Q’eros moves at a unique, unhurried pace, giving us the chance to explore the community in depth and gain meaningful insight into their customs and traditional way of life.

Our Q’eros shaman will introduce us to the Andean Cosmovision and guide us through ancestral ceremonies. Today, we will also experience a Coca Leaf Reading—a sacred practice in which the shaman uses coca leaves for spiritual guidance. You are welcome to ask questions related to your health, personal projects, love life, or anything else on your heart, and the shaman will offer insights and direction.

As night falls, we will enjoy dinner and follow the rhythm of the community, retiring early with the setting sun.

Following a satisfying breakfast, our Q’eros shamanic healer will guide us on a short hike through the Andean mountains. Along the way, we will take part in a powerful cleansing ceremony. The maestros will first perform a special stone cleansing near a river, followed by a ritual using ruda and yellow flowers, which symbolize positive energy. The ceremony focuses first on forgiveness and releasing negative energy, then on welcoming in light, healing, and positive vibrations.

After a hearty lunch, we will enjoy a gentle walk to a peaceful spot where we can rest and listen as the shaman shares more of his ancestral wisdom.

Alternatively, if you wish, there is also the option to visit the main Q’eros community, located about 1.5 hours away by car. If you would like to include this visit, please let us know in advance so we can arrange transportation (additional cost applies).

The day concludes with a nourishing dinner, followed by an early bedtime in harmony with the community’s rhythm.

Today, after a delightful breakfast, we will end our Q’eros adventure with a Mother Earth Offering – a ceremony expressing gratitude. Following this, we will take our private 4-hour drive to Urubamba in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Here, we’ll spend the night at a scenic lodge surrounded by nature. The remainder of the day is yours to relax and unwind.

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!
