Day 1: Cusco - Pacchanta - Ausangate
We'll start our trip from Cusco, heading towards the South Valley for about 3 hours until we reach the Pacchanta community near the Ausangate mountain. Next, we'll either hop on horses or walk to explore the Ausangate mountain landscape. Along the way, we'll stop for breakfast at a local family's house. Then, we'll continue our journey towards Ausangate. Once we arrive, we'll be welcomed into another local family's home, where we'll have a coca leaf oracle reading with our Andean shaman. After lunch, we'll participate in some spiritual cleansing ceremonies right in front of the Ausangate mountain. We will spend the night at a local homestay close to Ausangate and enjoy a local dinner.
Day 2: Ausangate - Pacchanta - Cusco
Today, we'll kick off our day with breakfast before heading to the Otorongo Lagoon, a special spot in the Ausangate area. It's about a 25-minute walk to reach the lagoon, where we'll participate in a significant Andean ceremony led by our local priest. This ceremony is all about expressing gratitude and connecting with nature and ourselves. Our Andean shaman will share insights into Inca cosmology and ancient practices. After this meaningful experience, we'll go back to Pacchanta for lunch and then take our transportation back to Cusco.
