William Palchukán

William is a native of the sacred Valle de Sibundoy and a living guardian of the Pastos and Quillacinga indigenous traditions. His knowledge was not learned from books but from the fire, the land, and the elders who came before him — a wisdom passed down through generations of medicine men and women. He has spent his life preserving and sharing the ancestral teachings of the Andean-Amazonian peoples, approaching plant medicine not as a practice but as a way of existing.
