Detailed itinerary
Day 1: Cusco – Chinchero – Ceremony – Cusco
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at approximately 08:30 a.m. and head to the charming town of Chinchero, beautifully set amidst the Sacred Valley. Here, at our countryside house, your personal Andean shaman will guide you through the entire ceremony. Together, you will prepare the offering using coca leaves, grains, local treats, and symbolic miniatures representing abundance, health, and prosperity. The coca leaf is central, creating a special link between your deepest desires and Mother Earth.
The shaman will lead heartfelt prayers to the Apus (mountain spirits) and Pachamama. Through careful ritual steps, your offering will be placed upon the earth — a moment of profound connection, gratitude, and hope. After completing the ceremony, you’ll share a delicious local lunch in a peaceful natural setting, then return to Cusco by private transport in the afternoon, carrying with you blessings and renewed energy.
