Mystical Andean Cusco    (06 Days / 05 Nights)

The Íncas’ ancestral cosmo-vision survives in the customs and ritual ceremonies dedicated to nature. This is why the Incas built sacred places, to worship the Sun, Moon and Mother Earth or Pachamama. Today, the sacred enclosures and temples are still full of magnetism and a concentrated energy, in each space, which can be felt, just by being in the place. Share the pleasant experience of participating in the ancestral rites, with the shamans and paqos or Andean priests, visiting sacred and enigmatic places.
