About this Retreat
Our guides know the whole region, shortcuts and best views to take you through. All of our guides are very spiritual people, growing up with the influences of ancient Inca and Andes cultures. They are professional certified guides and speak Spanish and English. Our local staff is in charge of the food preparation, organization and maintenance of the campsites. They are led by our professional mountain chef and the horsemen.
Shamans (or Paqo in Quechua) are highly respected spiritual healers in the Andean community. They are very wise people who have access to the link between them, the spirit world and Mother Earth. The role of the shaman is essential for their community because they are the ones who guide the people, by providing sacred ceremonies, oracle readings and spiritual offerings.
Details of this retreat
San Pedro literally means “the one who holds the keys to heaven's gates”. A journey with San Pedro will allow you to see a world you may often take for granted. You will marvel at the beauty of nature witnessing it come alive in front of your eyes. Your appreciation deepens as waves of relaxation wash over you. You may have new insights regarding personal events in your life and experience the world from a different perspective. San Pedro, or Wachuma, which is its original name in Quechua, is one of the most mystical traditions inherited from the ancient Inca Empire. Shaman healers who practice San Pedro Wachuma ceremonies are using this sacred cactus plant to heal people in health, emotional, spiritual aspects. It is the most powerful plant Andean people consider as healing medicine, the same way Amazonian people use Ayahuasca.
Schedule
Your sacred San Pedro experience in Peru starts at 8am at your hotel in Cusco, where you will be picked by our team. You will drive for about 20 minutes outside the city of Cusco close to the Moon Temple. Right after your arrival, the shaman will start the preparation of the sacred San Pedro ceremony, explaining to you the benefits and effects of the cactus plant, and everything else you need to know about the ceremony. The San Pedro experience starts with the Haywarikuy Ceremony, which is a special Coca Leaf ceremony to ask for permission and guidance of the Sacred Mountains and Mother Earth. Later, the shaman will perform a Cleansing ceremony based on the principle of forgiveness that allows you to easily access the spiritual San Pedro ceremony. Then you will take the San Pedro medicine to start the ceremony and receive what Mother Earth and the whole universe offers to you. During this experience, you will enjoy an organic picnic and the shamanic healer helps you understand and interpret your visions. He will perform an Offering to Mother Earth (Pachamama) to show gratitude and embrace your connection with nature. After finishing the sacred ceremony, you will be brought back to your hotel in Cusco.
