Retreat 2019
A Mystical Journey in Peru
During this journey in Peru in september 2019, the Paqos will help you find what is important in your life and give you perspectives on your Destination. During this two week retreat you will visit several Hot Spots with a positive and powerful energy. Places in Cusco, Puno and the Sacred Valley of the Inca’s that are visited since ancient times by the paqos because of their special energy that is emitted. A select group of paqos at the highest level of spiritual connection with the Cosmos and Mother Earth, the so called Pampamesayoks, will lead your way and at these special places you will participate in meditations and sessions, allowing you to open up on your inner power and really find the Essence of Who You Are. It’s a spiritual and magical Journey into your Soul and brings you closer to your true nature. Furthermore during these two weeks of soul searching and inner growth we will connect with Mother Earth, the Cosmos and the Sacred Mountains of the Inca’s. It's a unique Journey set in the midst of the magical and beautiful Andes Mountains and what the Ancient Incas considered as the Center of the World.
The Program
September 16, 2019
On the first day you will arrive at the city of Cusco which is located at 3600 meter above sea level. A person of our agency will wait for you at the airport and bring you to your hostel. Because of the altitude we will take things slowly today and start with a ‘Despacho' ceremony at night. The rest of the day you are free to acclimatize.
September 17, 2019
Today we will visit Chincana, which is a place close to Cusco. It’s a short drive of 30 minutes up the mountain until we get to a hill overlooking Cusco. We then starting walking for more or less 20 minutes until we get to a cave with a 'Window’ overlooking the valley with the river below. It is a mystical place and the Paqos will perform a personal session and ritual 1 on 1 with coca leaves throwing the leaves and one's burdens literally out of the window. We will then continue and after a short walk we will reach another cave through which a river runs. At this place everyone will have a personal Cleaning (“Limpieza”) with one of the Paqos, after which we will head back to Cusco.
September 18, 2019
Today we will visit a nearby site as well to take things slowly at this altitude and visit Templo de la Luna (Moon Temple) where we will have a meditation session with the Paqos. We will then start walking back to Cusco and stop at Templo del Mono (Monkey Temple) for a short visit and continue walking downhill along an old Inca Road, passing through the bohemian neighborhood called San Blas with its many bars and restaurants and finally arrive again at the main square, the Plaza de Armas of Cusco.
September 19, 2019
Today we will visit the Waterfall of Perolniyoc, which is located close to Ollantaytambo. From Ollantaytambo we go to a small village called Socma from which point we start walking for more or less 30 minutes. The paqos will do a ceremony at this beautiful site.
September 20, 2019
Today we will do a Tour in the Sacred Valley. The Sacred Valley was the granary of the Inca’s because of its warm and sunny climate. Within the sacred Valley we can thus find some very impressive Inca sites. Today we will visit the last stronghold of the Inca’s called Ollantaytambo. It’s a tour with a specialized guide. A unique opportunity to get to know some of Peru’s marvels.

September 21, 2019
Today we will visit Naupa Iglesia, which is a very mystical place located on a remote site. To get there some light walking and climbing is necessary, yet it’s not very difficult. It’s a cave with an in stone carved altar made out of bedrock with incredible precision and a shallow door that goes nowhere. Like many other sites in Peru one wonders, how it was possible to make such impressive structures, ages ago. The local people refer to these doors as Spirit Doors or windows into paradise. The Paqos will perform a ritual at this highly energetic site.

September 22, 2019
Today we will visit Señor de Huanca located in San Salvador, about an hour from Cusco and which is a dedication to Christ. Señor de Huanca is worshiped by many people because they consider Him as a very miraculous Christ. Although the Paqos are not exactly Catholic or Christian, they do recognize that Señor de Huanca and especially the place where the church is located, are both very powerful energies. Close to the church the Paqos will perform a Cleaning (Limpieza).
September 23, 2019
Today we will visit The ruins of Pisac, which is also located in the Sacred Valley. Pisac is often called Little Machu Picchu, because like Machu Picchu it is situated on top of a mountain overlooking the valley below and you get a good feel of how the Incas built their terraces. This is a tour with a guide and of course our friends the Paqos will come along as well. After the guided tour at the ruins we will go down and visit the local Market of Pisac where a lot of souvenirs are sold but also locally produced products are traded between the people of the area. An ideal place to get an idea about a Peruvian market and buy some souvenirs to take home.
