Don Gino Chaka Runa

Don Gino Chaka Runa is a highly respected Peruvian Curandero from Puno, trained in the Mestizo and Andean shamanic traditions. His shamanic path began at age 15 under the guidance of his grandfather, a Yatiri of the Inca lineage, who gave him the name Chaka-Runa—“The Bridge Man” in Quechua.

For more than two decades, Don Gino has dedicated his life to working with Ayahuasca, Master Plants, and Native Sacred Medicines, serving thousands of people from around the world with integrity, humility, and deep love.

He is known for his unique approach that blends ancestral Peruvian knowledge with a clear understanding of Western needs, offering a safe, grounded, and transformative healing space. Fluent in Spanish, English, and Italian, he connects openly with participants, guiding them through their healing journey with clarity, compassion, and deep respect.

His ceremonies are renowned for their power, safety, and beauty—supported by Shipibo, Quechua, and Spanish icaros that create a bridge to the spiritual world. Don Gino’s mission is to help people heal, awaken, and reconnect with their true essence while preserving authentic Ancient Shamanic Knowledge and honoring Pachamama.
