The tour starts off with a pick up from your hotel in
Lima and a transfer to the airport for your flight to
Cusco. Upon your arrival to Cusco you will be received
by a member of our staff and transferred over to your
hotel in the city. In the evening, you will be able to
visit the city a bit. That night you will have your

Day 2: Southern Sacred Valley
Today we will make our way down to the southern part of
the city to visit such typical places as Piqillaqta and
Andahuaylillas and Tipón, having lunch en route. We will
have guided tours of each of the sites as we make our
way around. At Tipón, we will participate in a ceremony
for Wiracoccha, even making offerings to the Pachamama (Mother
Earth). Return to Cusco. Rest and sleep.
Day 3: Maras Moray/ Saltpans
Today we will go out towards the Sacred Valley to visit
Maras, Moray and the Saltpans. That is a nice downhill
walk in some beautiful surroundings past some
significant places along the way. Maras is a small
typical pueblo where the entrances to all of the houses
are adorned with symbols representing Spanish and Incan
interests on each side of the doorway. Continuing on we
will come to Moray, which is a peculiar Incan
agricultural experiment; between each level of the
terrace it gets 5º warmer and so they experimented with
growing crops that weren´t typical to the Andes. It will
be a perfect place to do a ceremony for health and
energy.
Along the way we will have some delicious lunch and also
we will pass the saltpans which are beautiful white
terraces which produce natural salt which have been used
by people in the area for centuries at least. Return to
Cusco in the evening after a number of hours of walking.
In Cusco we will participate in the ancient ritual of
coca reading, which is a way that shamans can read your
future and your heart and spirit. Dinner in a tourist
restaurant. Spend the night in a hotel.

Valley of the Incas. We will have a typical lunch in
Urubamba, which is thought to be the main pueblo in the
Sacred Valley. When we get to Ollantaytambo, the most
storied pueblo in the area, we will make an offering to
Wayra. Instead of returning to Cusco in the night time
