Journey into the heart of Peru’s Sacred Valley for an intimate pilgrimage of ceremony, ancient wisdom, wellness, and connection.

Sacred Ceremony

Our journey is guided by our friend, generational Q’ero healer and medicine man, Percy.

Experience Peru beyond the tourist path

Our local guide, Joana will take us through intimate connections with local communities and living Andean traditions.

Experience the Sacred Valley with Intention

From Lake Paru Paru and ancient salt terraces to Machu Picchu and sacred sites, we have the experience to know the best places in the Valley.

Balance adventure with deep relaxation

We have created an itinerary that allows plenty of space for integration through Temezcal, yoga, meditation, silence, sound healing, and leisure time.
