SEPTEMBER 26, 2026

Ease into the energy of the Andes with a sacred welcome and soulful connection.

Your journey begins in the vibrant heart of Cusco, where the crisp mountain air greets you the moment you arrive. You’ll be met at the airport and whisked away to the serene Sacred Valley—a gentle descent that lets your body ease into the altitude, so you feel clear, energized, and ready for what’s ahead.

Your home for the next few days is the breathtaking Los Qolqas Eco-Resort, surrounded by lush gardens and framed by soaring Andean peaks. Here, you’ll settle into your beautiful accommodations, letting the stillness of nature wash over you.

As the sun dips low, we gather for a powerful Welcome Ceremony—an ancient energetic cleansing and heartfelt reconnection with the Andean spirits, setting sacred intentions for the days ahead.

Share a warm Welcome Dinner with your fellow travelers, savoring rich flavors of traditional Peruvian cuisine as laughter, connection, and anticipation fill the air.

This is your first exhale—an intentional crossing of the threshold into a space where your soul will be nourished and seen.

Transformation Focus: Grounding into presence, setting sacred intentions, and opening to the energy of the journey ahead.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2026

Step into ancient culture, sacred ceremony, and the blessings of the Andes.

Our day begins with a gentle morning movement practice—yoga and somatic exercises designed to ground your energy, awaken your body, and open your heart for the day ahead.

We journey to Chinchero, a charming mountain village that opens to breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley and snow-capped Andes. Known as the birthplace of the rainbow, Chinchero is alive with color, culture, and history.

Our morning takes us deep into the heart of Andean tradition at the Yni Ayllu Weaving Cooperative. Here, you’ll meet a remarkable community of indigenous Quechua women who have preserved the sacred art of weaving for generations.

As you watch natural dyes transform alpaca wool into vibrant threads and intricate patterns, you’ll feel the living story of their heritage being passed down before your eyes. This is more than a demonstration—it’s  a rare invitation into their world, where each piece carries meaning, memory, and connection.

After sharing a traditional lunch in the community, we continue the day with a profound spiritual experience: a Despacho Ceremony led by an Andean Master—an offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth) that aligns your heart with the sacred energy of the land.

In the evening, we gather for a Sacred Sharing Circle, releasing what no longer serves you and inviting deeper connection to yourself and the group.

You’ll carry with you not only artisan treasures, but also the blessings of the Andes and a deeper connection to this sacred land.

Transformation Focus: Connecting to the wisdom of tradition, deepening gratitude for the earth, beginning to release what no longer serves you.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2026

Immerse in vibration, reveal hidden layers, and transform from within.

We begin the morning with our gentle movement practice, connecting breath and body, preparing the mind and spirit for deep energetic work.

Today’s journey leads us to a HEALING SOUNDBATH, where waves of pure vibration wash over you.

As crystal bowls, gongs, digeridoos, and a variety of other instruments create harmonic resonance, your body begins to respond at a cellular level. The shifting frequencies help release tension, quiet the mind, and restore energetic balance—clearing out negative stuck energy from your entire Chakra system.

Many describe the experience as a meditative journey, where sound becomes a bridge between the conscious and subconscious, opening space for emotional release, expanded awareness, and deep peace.

In the evening, we gather for a MULTI-SENSORY CULINARY EXPERIENCE—not just a meal, but an intentional transformation exercise.

Each flavor, texture, aroma, and overall dinning experience is designed to disrupt patterns, awaken the senses, and stir hidden layers of negative, limiting thought and emotion.

This immersive experience may trigger insights, reveal blocks, or challenge long-held perceptions.

Together, we move into a guided process of transmuting this energy—shifting it into clarity, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Transformation Focus: EXPANSION—Diving deep into our subconscious, releasing energetic, mental, & emotional blocks, profound introspection, stepping into renewed self-awareness.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2026

Journey by train through the Sacred Valley to the heart of a powerful energy vortex.

After breakfast, we board the Vistadome Train, its wide panoramic windows revealing ever-changing landscapes—towering peaks, lush valleys, and winding rivers that seem to whisper ancient stories.

Onboard, enjoy live Andean folk music and dance in traditional costume, the vibrant colors and rhythms of Peru setting the tone for the day’s adventure.

Upon arrival we set forth on a private tour of one of the Seven Wonders of the World—the legendary Machu Picchu, an UNESCO site. Our experienced guide weaves together the fascinating history, architecture, and spiritual significance of this sacred Incan city.

Immersed in the rarefied air and quartz-rich terrain of Machu Picchu, you'll step into one of Earth's most POWERFUL ENERGY VORTEXES—a place where history, spirit, and nature converge.

As you stand among the ancient Incan ruins, the site's elevated frequency and sacred design invite deep spiritual awakening, energetic realignment, and a felt sense of connection to the Divine.

Here, profound peace and clarity arise naturally; physical sensations of warmth, tingling, or flowing energy often signal the release of what no longer serves you and the integration of higher awareness.

The majesty of the mountains, the precision stonework, and the charged atmosphere create an environment where inner reflection comes effortlessly FEELING your way through it, guiding you toward expanded consciousness and a deep remembrance of your soul's path.

In the afternoon, we return to Inkaterra and gather for a Sacred Sharing Circle—a heart-centered space to release old blocks, integrate your experiences, and connect more deeply with yourself and others.

Machu Picchu—one of the most potent places on the planet for PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION!

Transformation Focus: Gain more clarity, healing, and spiritual connection through Machu Picchu's quartz-rich earth and powerful energetic field. 

SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

Relax, explore, or simply be—the day is yours to restore body, mind, and spirit.

After days filled with movement, ceremony, and sacred exploration, today is designed for rejuvenation and choice.

There is no structured transformation work, no Sacred Sharing Circle—just space for you to follow your own rhythm.

Begin your morning however you feel called: perhaps an early gentle yoga practice or birdwatching in the cloud forest.

FOR THE BIRD LOVERS, this area is a paradise—over 300 species call it home. Early walks lead you to the river observatory, where you may spot the rare torrent duck and the white-capped dipper. Continue to the tanager feeding area, alive with silver-beaked, blue-necked, fawn-breasted, and saffron-crowned tanagers. Along the resort’s trails, keep watch for the brilliant cock-of-the-rock, the golden-headed quetzal, and the vibrant flutter of up to 18 species of hummingbirds, including the enchanting booted racket-tail.

For those drawn to nature’s quiet wisdom, there are guided walks to discover the wonders of the Machu Picchu cloud forest. On the NATURE WALK, learn about the medicinal plants of Peru and the delicate ecosystems of ferns, bromeliads, orchids, and native birds.

The ORCHID TRAIL is a highlight—372 species of native orchids grow at Inka, from the largest orchid flower in the world to tiny blossoms seen only through a magnifying glass.

If you are called to earth’s gifts in another form, visit Inkaterra's very own TEA PLANTATION. Wander through the organic gardens, harvest leaves from the tea bushes, and take part in the traditional process—pressing the leaves, preparing your own tea bag, and savoring a fresh glass of hot or iced tea at the Tea House.

This isn’t just tasting tea; it’s connecting to the process from soil to sip, honoring the land’s abundance.

For rest and restoration, relax by the POOL or experience the ANDEAN SAUNA—a unique purification ritual where heated river stones release aromatic eucalyptus steam, blending ancient healing with deep relaxation. Built from locally sourced eucalyptus and bamboo, this igloo-shaped structure creates a cocoon of warmth.

Guests often describe the experience as not just physical, but energetic cleansing—leaving with a lighter body, clearer mind, and renewed vitality.

As evening falls, you may choose to take part in the TWILIGHT WALK—a gentle, spiritual connection to the environment and the ancient energy of Machu Picchu.

The path winds to an enchanting waterfall, passes sacred pre-Inca pictographs, and pauses at the Rocotal Observatory, where the energy of the land seems to hum in the dusk light.

However you spend the day—active or restful, social or in solitude—this is your moment to recharge, rejuvenate, and simply BE.

Transformation Focus: Restoring your energy, honoring your body’s rhythm, and creating space for integration and renewal.

OCTOBER 1, 2026

Today is about deep connection — to the earth that sustains you, to others who walk beside you, and to the still place within where your truest intentions take root.

We leave the lush sanctuary of Inkaterra and journey toward Cusco, pausing to step into one of Peru’s most extraordinary sites — the Moray Pyramids.

Nestled high in the Sacred Valley, Moray’s vast circular terraces spiral deep into the earth like a natural amphitheater. Believed to have been an agricultural laboratory, each level creates its own unique microclimate, allowing the Inca to adapt crops to different altitudes. This was not just farming — it was harmony in motion, a living dialogue between human innovation and Pachamama herself.

Standing at the edge of Moray, you feel its quiet pull. Each ring is like a layer of the self — the outer edges where daily life hums, spiraling inward to the still center where mind, body, and spirit meet in perfect balance. Here, you’ll pause to breathe, to listen, and to feel the same living intelligence that sustained the Inca flowing through you.

In this sacred space, you’ll take part in a symbolic intention-planting ceremony, offering your vision for the life you are ready to grow. The earth receives your prayer. The wind carries it. The mountains witness it.

We then share a picnic lunch with a local Andean community — an organic, soul-nourishing meal prepared with the same care and respect that has sustained life in these valleys for centuries. From here, we continue to Cusco and settle into the Antigua Casona San Blas, a lovingly restored colonial built between 1750 and 1800, where history and comfort embrace you in the heart of the city.

Transformation Focus: Integration — Aligning mind, body, and spirit through presence, connection, and conscious intention; awakening clarity and purpose that will continue to grow long after you leave Peru.

OCTOBER 2, 2026

After a nourishing breakfast, we rise into the mystical hills above Cusco, beginning our sacred exploration at Sacsayhuaman—a stunning stone fortress where colossal boulders fit together with impossible preceision. Here, ancient energy and legend invite us to imagine a time when stone sang and spirit led the way.

We then step into the Womb of the Cosmic Mother, a nearby cave revered as a gateway of REBIRTH. In this powerful, grounding space, we'll be gently guided through a CEREMONY to reconnect with Pachamama and emerge renewed—mind, body, and soul.

Our journey continues to Tambomachay, the Incan Temple of Water, a peaceful sanctuary once used for purification rituals and sacred rest. Flowing springs and carved stone channels speak to the reverence the Incas held for this life-giving element.

At the Temple of the Condor, we enter into a private ANDEAN INITIATION CEREMONY—a transformational ritual invoking the WISDOM of the Serpent, the STRENGTH of the Puma, and the VISION of the Condor. Here, we connect with ancient teachings of the three worlds and the unseen realms the Incas knew well.

Lastly, we make our way to the heart of Cusco for a city tour alive with culture, color, and the joyful warmth of its people. We close the day at Coricancha, the legendary Temple of the Sun, once shimmering in gold and home to the most sacred rites honoring Inti the Sun God.

OCTOBER 3, 2026

Taste, smell, touch, see, and hear your way into this present moment

Begin the day wandering through Cusco's bustling San Pedro Market, where vibrant colors, the chatter of local vendors, and the earthy aroma of fresh herbs fill the air.

Guided by a local chef and barman, you'll hand-select traditional Peruvian ingredients before stepping into a cozy kitchen to create culinary magic!

With mortal, pestle, sizzling pans, you'll prepare mouthwatering dishes and scintillating cocktails—each bite, each sip a lesson in local heritage and flavor.

This is more than a meal—it's a practice in slowing down, deepening connection, and engaging all five senses, anchoring yourself FULLY into the Now.

OCTOBER 4, 2026

You return home not as you arrived—but more whole, more alive, and more connected than ever before!

Our final morning is devoted to integration.

In our Closing Circle we reflect, share, and seal the transformations you've experienced.

You'll leave carrying more than memories—you'll carry belonging that will guide your next chapter.

Transfers to Cusco airport (CUZ) will be provided for your onward journey home.
