Andean Spiritual Wellness Journey: Sacred Valley & Ausangate Mountain Retreat

This retreat is more than a vacation; it's a holistic experience designed to facilitate deep personal transformation. The program uniquely blends spiritual practices with cultural exploration and physical activity, ensuring a well-rounded journey that touches every aspect of your being. Under the guidance of local Andean shamans and expert guides, you will participate in sacred ceremonies that have been passed down through generations, offering a window into the rich spiritual heritage of Peru.

Your journey begins in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, where you'll settle into a comfortable hotel and start your spiritual work with a meditation and energetic cleansing session. From there, you'll venture into the Sacred Valley, exploring the impressive archaeological sites of Pisaq and Ollantaytambo while learning about Inca history and cosmology. The highlight of the retreat is the two-day excursion to the Ausangate region, where you'll hike to the base of the sacred mountain, stay with a local family, and participate in powerful ceremonies at the Blue Lagoon.

Led by Ruty Salas, a native guide from the region, and accompanied by a master shaman, you'll gain unique insights into Andean spirituality and the Quechua way of life. Ruty's deep connection to her roots and her fluency in Spanish, Quechua, and English ensure that you feel welcome and understood throughout the journey. The retreat's intimate, private format ensures personalized attention and the flexibility to tailor ceremonies and activities to your needs.

Beyond the spiritual aspects, this retreat is a feast for the senses. You'll savor local cuisine prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, enjoy the warmth of Andean hospitality, and be moved by the dramatic landscapes that surround you. By the end of the six days, you'll return home with a profound sense of peace, a clearer mind, and a heart full of gratitude.
