Learn Basic Principles & Practices
of the Andean Spiritual Path.
This truly mystical place, where the water sings the song of life, is a perfect place to explore the primary concepts of the Inca philosophy which form the foundation of the Andean path of spiritual growth. You will see first hand how the Inca presented their understanding of the force of Creation within the very intentional way they built the main ceremonial fountain, with all of its mystic symbolism.
Beside the sacred ceremonial fountains you can experience for yourself the phenomenon of the “KAUSAY”, (the Living Energy), of the Universe. We will guide you through the process of “Saminchakuy” (Clearing the Energy Body), a powerful practice essential for maintaining a state of balance and harmony in your life.
Climbing further to a secluded temple above the terraces, we will practice “Hallpay”, a favorite tradition here in the Andes. Through offering prayers with the sacred coca leaves and sharing our prayer bundles with each other, we will cultivate loving connection with each other and unite together as a group, all in the spirit of “Munay”, the special Andean word for pure, unconditional love.
