Detailed Itinerary
This itinerary may be subject to change
Day 1-SEP/13TH. TO LIMA*
Arrive into Lima, the capital of Peru. Airport reception and transfer to our hotel.
Because of the jetlag and the high altitude of Cuzco, we strongly suggest that you plan to come a day early to Lima—arriving on Sep. 12, and go immediately (or the next day, if that is the earliest flight) to Cuzco to have an extra day to acclimatize. Prices for extra days are at the end of this itinerary.

Early transfer to the airport for our flight to Cuzco. At our hotel we have an introduction to the Sacred Inca culture by our Shaman guide Mallku. Lunch is on your own.

We are led on a profound ceremony of healing for the Equinox. We visit the Sacred Plaza, the Temple of the Sun and Royal Tomb. We marvel over the Inca architecture, craftsmanship and stonework. With Mallku's guidance we honor the Spirit of the Condor, taking time for meditation, personal reflection and offerings. For those ready for adventure, there may be an optional opportunity to climb the magnificent and powerful Wayna Picchu mountain. Climbing spots are very limited, so you will have to wait in a long line to get a ticket to climb. We will take the 7pm train to the Sacred Valley.

Day 15-SEP/27TH. PRE-INCA AIMARA WAKAS
Today is dedicated to experiencing the powerful energies of Lake Titicaca, known as the female pole of the planet.

Our group visits the Fertility Temple, and continues to the Ajayu Marka to walk along the Power Snake and meditate at its Dimensional Doorway, often called “The Gateway of Aramu Muru”.
