A day full of magic and connection with the Spiritual World. Departure from Cusco in a private car accompanied by our guide and our Andean shaman, to a very important archeological site, Chinchero. On the way, you can enjoy some beautiful, natural landscapes and some small villages. Our first visit will be to the beautiful archeological site of Chinchero, that offers exceptional lithical expressions due to its monumentality and the development of its architecture with beautiful agricultural terraces, Sacred Huacas, Palaces, Niches where the Mummies would be put to be revered, and paths that led to different villages. The site has been constructed by Tupaq Inka Yupanki. Chinchero is also known as the land of the Arco Iris, and as its people are very devoted to Mother Nature, the Arco Iris represents to them the pregnancy of the Pachamama (Mother Earth) to give fertility to have abundant harvests. The two lakes represent the eyes of the Pachamama and the male and female duality, as well. And its Sacred Mountains Chicon, Pumahuanka, Waqkaywilka and Waynaccorqor are believed to protect their village. And on top of a Sacred Huaca where sacrifices, ceremonies and offerings were performed, was built the Colonial Church dedicated to Virgin Monserrat, today known as the Mamacha Natividad, the Patroness of the People of Chinchero. As well. After our visit to the Church we will explore the archeological site and be part of a Spiritual Ceremony. First, we will thank Mother Pachamama and the Sacred Mountains with an offering prepared by our Andean shaman with Sacred Coca Leaves, Sacred Chicha made from corn, carnation, lama grease and some grains from the region. The offering will then be buried under a Ceremonial Huaca invoking the Spirit of the Sacred Mountains and Mother Pachamama to protect us spiritually. Then, there’s a Spiritual meditation to connect us with the Spiritual to clean our soul from negative energies, experience a momento of clarity to realice our aims in life, confront our fears and insecurities, créate peace, tranquility, harmony, happiness and give joy to our heart and meet with our own Self. Afterwards, we’ll continue to with a walk down a Sacred path to a beautiful waterfall of Chinchero about 1 hour, to appreciate the fall of the water, it is a magical place of tranquility to connect with nature, then we continue walking towards the valley of Urquillos. 3 hours, in the course of the road we can see some agricultural terraces of the Incas and landscapes of flora, reaching the town of Urquillos visit a chicheria (aqja wasi or Andean bar) to drink this drink of the Andean man and make a toast to the great spiritual achievement and we continue our walk to reach the Urquillos bridge where our vehicle awaits us for the return to the City of Cusco.
