About this Retreat
They are a couple of Latin American musicians, composers, and healers (from Venezuela and Argentina) based in the Sacred Valley, Cusco. Together, they bring a combined 9 years of experience serving shamanic medicines and guiding emotional, physical, and spiritual healing journeys for people from all over the world.
Flor Araceli is a multi-instrumentalist trained in various string, wind, and percussion instruments. She has a warm, angelic voice alongside deep knowledge of South American traditional rhythms. Deeply connected to intuition, energy healing, and especially master plants, she works with them during ceremonies through energetic cleansings (limpiezas) and the following day through herbal plant baths.
Alonso Rafael is an integrative healer, musician, spiritual researcher, and traditional curandero trained in the Amazon rain forest. He began his healing path at age 14 and has since trained in TCM acupuncture, energy healing, angelic Kabbalah, Akashic records, energetic cord cutting, and more. He lived in the jungle for three years, learning Ayahuasca (and other master plants) under traditional curandero Francisco Morillo, and Kambó under Robinson Reyna. Alonso channels his intuition and heightened sensitivity to serve his clients, offering cleansings and healings through shamanic and energetic practices.
Together, they hold safe, luminous, and heart-centered spaces dedicated to participants, serving medicine for the highest good of all who arrive
A facilitator and guide for 5+ years, Shane has trained and dieted with dozens of curanderos, tobaceros, and professionals. He is certified with NOLS as a WFR, and holds a current CPR certification.

Details of this retreat
Summary:
Guided tours from the Jungle to the Mountains with Ayahausca, Kambo, and Huachuma ceremonies. These retreats offer an experience of each medicine in the perfect setting for profound understanding. All of these retreats are designed for short stays, with enough time to safely experience each medicine. If you are looking for a retreat that will introduce you to the medicine path, or deepen your connection to medicines of Peru, this is the retreat for you.
Each Medicine in it's Home:
There is a reason our guests choose to meet the medicine where it grows. The profound messages from each of our medicines are so much deeper in the right setting. But travelling to the deep jungle, high mountains, and having access to modern amenities is a tall task.
That is why Mountain Wind created The Serpent & The Condor retreats. These retreats offer an experience like few other centers can provide. We begin with arrival in Cusco, take private travel to the jungle Manu Reserve, and return to the ancient Temple of the Moon before returning to Cusco to end our journey. We partake in each medicine where it grows, from the jungle basin, to the peaks of the Andes.
Each retreat is built for safety, comfort, and adventure. There is nothing like this experience. If you are experienced already, you will deepen your connection. If you are just starting your medicine path, you will be introduced to each medicine in its home. You are invited!

In the early afternoon an amazing fruit bowl will be served. Often guests say this is their favorite meal, and we can thank the medicine for that.
In the late afternoon there will be a walking tour of the Temple of the Moon. The temple is close by and the walk is easy, and with Huachuma by our side it is a profound experience. Shortly after we return dinner will be available, often soup and bread with butter, followed by a piece of sweet bread or cake. Huachuma will still be with us as we sit around a fire. There we will discuss our experiences. We will share, laugh, and enjoy the company of our fellow travelers. We will go to our rooms when ready, though the medicine often stays with us until late.
