Learn to make traditional Peruvian dishes during this 2-hour cooking class in Urubamba. Head to a local B&B just a 90-minute drive from Cusco and whip up some of the country’s most delicious dishes like ceviches, tacu-tacu, lomo saltado, a chifa, and more. Get tips and tricks from your host on how to recreate the dishes at home and enjoy the fruits of your labor with an ice cold drink.

During the Sacred Ceremony, the Master prays with three Coca leaves (Kintu) that Mother Earth gave to us and to the Apus (Great Mountain Spirits). The shamanic healer also uses items like candy, colored wools, myrrh, frankincense, tallow and a variety of foods and herbs that Andean people called “reach or dispatch“. These items have to be specifically prepared for the offering by the Master or Andean Priest, who is also called «Paqos». Each element has its spiritual meaning andis therefore part of the ceremony. The session ends with a last prayer to the world and to our life. The online course will be transmitted via Zoom. The offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth) allows us to give thanks to everything we have been receiving and appreciate her generosity, creating a feeling of harmony and deep connection with nature, letting her know that we feel unconditional love for Mother Earth and the spirits within us.

Make it to Machupicchu in time to witness the sunset and sunrise on day three. Trek the Inca Trail to reach Machu Picchu, crossing the Inti Punku or Sungate. Take a quarry trek to Ollantaytmabo to explore the hidden landscapes of the Andes. Walk with expert guides and camp with camping gear for educational purposes.

Uncover the history and culture of Cusco, once the heart of the Inca Empire, on this small-group tour of the city—a great way to get your bearings if visiting for the first time. Check off plenty of sights in one convenient tour that covers Plaza de Armas, where Inca roads once converged, the Temple of the Sun, and the Convent of Santo Domingo. You'll also visit Cusco Cathedral and the bustling San Pedro Central Market, for a taste of daily life in Cusco.

This unique spiritual journey is designed for those who want to immerse themselves more deeply in the Andean culture while seeking renewal, inner peace, and blessings from nature.
