Day #7 Oracle Route

Machu Picchu Crystal City

Greeting a New Dawn at the Sun Gate

Our day begins in the stillness of dawn, high among the Andean peaks, where we will gather at the revered Sun Gate—the very place where the initiates of the Inca Empire prepared for the final leg of their sacred pilgrimage. As the first rays of sunlight touch the earth, we will witness a breathtaking panorama of verdant mountains stretching to the horizon. Suddenly, the magnificent Crystal City of Machu Picchu emerges from a veil of mist below - a breathtaking vision that seems almost otherworldly.

Standing at this enchanting gateway to the world of the Incas, you can almost feel the prayers of centuries of pilgrims reverberating around you. It is here where we will follow in the footsteps of the ancestors of this land in a poignant, heart opening Inca ceremony of reverence to the deities of the natural world that surrounds us.

Machu Picchu: Our Pilgrimage’s Grand Finale

Walking down the path leading to the “Sacred City of Light” awash with reverence and wonder, you will carry on the legacy of the Ancient Wisdom Keepers. It is at this sacred ground, the apex of ancient Andean civilization, where all initiates into the mysteries of the Andean spiritual path completed their pilgrimage. Like them, we too can tap into the high vibrations emanating from this city built upon powerfully charged crystals, tuning into the refined energy of the Hanan Pacha (the Upper World), where the spirits of the mountains and celestial bodies of the Cosmos dwell.

Upon entering the main city, the layout reveals a sophisticated connection to the Cosmos. Stone structures align with celestial events, showcasing the Incas’ profound understanding of astronomy. At its heart stands the Temple of the Sun, its intricately carved altars hinting at rituals dedicated to Inti, the Sun God. You may feel a gentle energy radiating from these stones, a testament to the reverence the Incas held for nature and the divine.

Walking through the many sacred temples, an almost palpable energy enfolds you. Each chamber is purposefully designed to connect the earthly realm with the heavens.

As the sun reaches its zenith, beams of light illuminate the terraces of this great citadel, revealing the sophistication of Incan agricultural practices. The intricate systems of irrigation speak to an advanced understanding of sustainable living that resonates with modern ecological wisdom.

Huayna Picchu:

Formidable Ascent into the Mystery of the Divine Feminine

If time allows, we would be honored to guide you along lesser-known pathways, where whispers of legends linger among the moss-covered stones. Stories of ancestral spirits are etched into the very fabric of Machu Picchu, creating a tapestry of history and mystery.

For those in peak physical condition and with the courage to face their fear of heights, the exhilarating climb up the steep and narrow trail to Huayna Picchu offers an ambitious challenge.

As you ascend, the stunning views unfold, culminating in a hidden jewel of Machu Picchu: a magnificent temple dedicated to the moon, carved into the bedrock of a cave that overlooks the Crystal Citadel below.

Crossing the threshold of this sacred space, you enter a portal into the mysteries of the sacred feminine, offering a powerful and transformative experience that only a few dare to embrace.
