MAGIC IN THE ANDES
SHAMANIC
JOURNEYS
( 14 DAYS / 13 NIGHTS )
Because this is
the rare, precious opportunity you've been waiting for! Unlike other tours
to Peru, you will experience sacred sites and power vortexes intimately and
profoundly.
This is not just
a tour, but a spiritual journey.
Breathe in the
sacred wisdom of the ages. Meditate in temples thousands of years old.
Participate in life-changing ancient ceremonies and experience the
magnificence of your own being. Picture yourself breathing the mystical air
at the heights of the Andes Mountains. Your spirit will soar as you
experience one of the most beautiful and sacred lands on earth. Walk in the
footsteps of the ancient Inkas. The ancestors of the Andean people still
live in this precious "Paradise in the Sun," where the heart of the masters
still reigns.
Once again, the
world has begun to recognize the Andes as one of the greatest cultural and
spiritual centers of the planet. The doors to new dimensions of awareness
are opening to us, and we are now unearthing and reviving ancient, hidden
knowledge, due to the beginning of the new, tenth Pachakuti, or cosmic
cycle. Andean history is divided into segments of 1000 years, with a
transformational era in the middle, every 500 years. We recently passed one
of these historical transitions in 1992. The Andean people calls this Pachakuti "turning of the
times." Since long ago the Andean culture zealously
guarded their secrets. Now they are willing to share this ancient
knowledge. Are you ready to experience your true nature? Now is the time to
participate in sacred ceremonies from an ancient, highly advanced
civilization.

Peru is a land steeped in ancient wisdom
that is vital for our planet during these transitional times. Life in the
Inkan empire was measured by a thousand year cosmic cycle called an
Inti, which means 'Sun'. This thousand year cycle was then divided into
halves, each of which was referred to as a Pachakuti ("he who transform the
earth"). The cosmovision of the Andean world is the conception of duality
that is in permanent opposition, but complementary, like the principle of
ying/yang that expresses this opposition. This same principle of duality
applies to each Pachakuti. However, Pachakuti also refers to the
transitional time that divided each Pachakuti and this is characterized as a
time of great changes.
During the five hundred years of the
eighth Pachakuti, Pachacuteq, the greatest spiritual leader of the Inkas and
the builder of Machu Picchu ruled. This was a time of light when the Inka
Empire flourished and there was expansion and good fortune.
The ninth Pachakuti, on the opposite
side of the duality, brought with it the five hundred years of darkness when
the Spanish invaded the Andes. We are now entering the tenth Pachakuti,
which the Andean people refer to as the returning of Pachacuteq, the
returning of the Light. This is the time when the etheric crystal cities of
the fourth dimension such as the lost golden city of Paititi and the eternal
etheric city under lake Titikaka will again be available to us.
One of the Solar Discs in the Inka time
that was at Cusco, and placed in the Qorikancha, the main Temple of the Sun,
stayed there until the coming of the Spanish. At that time, it was returned
to Lake Titikaka and placed in the Eternal Etheric City inside the Lake. In
the legend of their origin, this is the place from where the first Inkas,
Manku Qhapak and Mama Oqllo, entered the Earth.
DAY 11: AMANTANI
ISLAND - THE CENTER OF LIGHT
This morning we cross the highest
navigable lake in the world to the island of Amantani. The spiritual leader
of the community will led us in a POWER OFFERING for Pachamama. This night
we share with the locals and stay in their homes. In the evening, we will
have a special meditation ceremony where we will be introduced to the Sacred
Fire.
Amantani Island
is located 38 km from the city of Puno, 3,810 meters above
sea level, 3,5 hours by motorboat. Amantani is a beautiful island with
warm and hospital inhabitants. Its greatest attraction is based on the
social, ethnic and archaeological aspects. Among its most important and
well-known places are the temples of Pachatata and Pachamama dedicated to
the cult of the earth and heaven. From there on you can have an excellent
panoramic view of the lake, as well as a view of the oriental mountain range
and the Bolivian side with its mountain
range.
Lake Titikaka Legend:
Titikaka ("Rock of the Puma") was, according to Andean legend, the
birthplace of civilization. Wiraqocha, the creator, brought light into a
dark world by directing the Sun, Moon and stars to rise up out of the
lake and take their place in the sky. With time the Sun and Moon had
children who also rose from the depths of the lake. These new people
were sent out from Titikaka to the four corners of the earth, with Manku
Qhapac and his sister Mama Oqllo and their family clan being sent off to
inhabit the Cusco region. Inka legend believed that Manku was the first
Inka and a direct descendent from the Sun.
DAY 12: TEMPLES
OF THE LIGHT
Early in the morning we ascend to the
temples of Pachatata and Pachamama where we present our offering to
Pachamama and to life. After some lunch we boat back to the continent and
will have our transportation to Puno and have a free afternoon..

SILLUSTANI, LIMA

SILLUSTANI, another sacred site, for our closing ritual and circle, then
