Pikillacta - Tipón - Church of Andahuaylillas

From the enigmatic remains of the pre-Inca fortress of Pikillacta, to the impressive fountains of the great Inca temple of Tipón, to the lavish decor of the Catholic church of Andahuaylillas, all express the Cosmology of the Andean people that has endured throughout the ages. This tour provides an overview of the history of the Andes from pre-Inca to colonial times.

Beside the streaming fountains of Tipón we will explore the Andean understanding of Kausay (Living Energy) as it flows and animates the life force within us and in all things. On this sacred ground we will offer a ceremony of gratitude with k’intus (3 coca leaves) and chicha (traditional fermented beverage).

This unique mystical tour will reveal secrets of the Inca capital kept silent for centuries. Originally called “Qosqo,” (meaning navel), this center of the Inca Empire was built with the design of the Puma, with mystical chakras embedded within the original construction of this sacred historic city.

We will learn about ceremonies conducted at the Pumaq Chupan Fountain and the mysteries of the great Inca Temple of the Sun that remain within the walls of Qoricancha.. See where the Inca Kings had their palaces, and explore streets in the mystic neighborhood of San Blas where different myths and legends took place. We will end the tour with the lively San Pedro market to try out a variety of special foods native to Peru.

Sacsayhuaman + Puka Pukara + Tambomach’ay

Standing unmoved for centuries, the giant monoliths that make this magnificent site stand guard over the city of Cusco, putting the best engineering of this modern age to shame. Tall, silent and perfectly crafted, the archeological sites of Sachsayhuaman and the neighboring Inca temples express an ancient Cosmology.

Here is a perfect place to cover basic concepts of the Andean Cosmovision, and show how these wonders of the ancients reveal profound wisdom that could guide us today. We will explore the concepts of hucha and sami (heavy and light energy), and will end the day with a traditional Pichay ceremony to clear your energy field..

Q’enqo + Temple of the Moon + Ch’uspiyoq + Zone “X”

Next to the famous Sacsayhuaman site above the City of Cusco are many smaller, lesser known archeological wonders tucked away, but nevertheless filled with mystical meaning in a beautiful natural setting. See how the Andean trilogy is embedded into every detail of the archeological designs of the Inca: the trilogy of the 3 worlds, Ukhupacha (lower world), Kaypacha (middle world) and Hananpacha (upper world) and their corresponding sacred animals (serpent, puma and condor.)

We will begin the day before dawn with a floral bath ceremony at a shrine for the Water Goddess. Afterwards, we will experience the mystery of the Chakana, the Andean Cross, and lead you through a guided meditation to connect with the 3 Worlds of the Andean Cosmos.
