The Offering to Pachamama, also known as the “Payment to the Earth,” is an ancient ritual of gratitude rooted in pre-Inca times. This ceremony symbolizes returning to Mother Earth all that she has provided us. Led by a genuine Andean shaman, it connects the material and spiritual worlds, allowing you to express your deepest hopes for your life, your future, and your loved ones. Though traditionally performed on August 1st, these ceremonies can be held any day of the year, offering a chance to invite blessings, harmony, and abundance into your life.

This profound experience opens your heart to Andean spiritual wisdom, forging a sacred bond with Pachamama (Mother Earth) that continues to nurture you long after the ritual ends.

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.
