Itinerary

We will pick you up and drive to the Moon Temple, a sacred and peaceful setting for our exclusive San Pedro ceremony. Upon arrival, we take time to introduce the ritual, its meaning, and prepare ourselves for the experience. The Andean shaman will explain the traditional role of the Wachuma cactus, its purpose, and what to expect throughout the ceremony.

The ceremony is guided with care and intention. The shamanic healer and our guide will be present throughout the entire experience to support you, while the shaman enriches the space with beautiful flute music. Depending on the weather and your preferences, we may take a gentle walk or settle into a quiet, secluded spot, allowing you time to focus inward, reflect, and fully connect with your visions in your own way.

In the afternoon, we will take part in a ceremonial offering to Mother Earth (Pachamama) as an expression of gratitude and respect. At the end of the ceremony, light snacks and fresh fruit will be provided before we safely return you to your hotel in Cusco, leaving space to integrate this meaningful and transformative experience.

San Pedro medicine’s effects last 8 to 12 hours, offering an enjoyable, dream-like state. Initial lethargy may precede vivid visions, and purging can occur for energy release.
