QUILLARUMIYOC & MARAS SALT MINES

Our first destination is Quillarumiyoc, the Oracle of the Moon or Temple of the Moon, located at the base of the majestic Ancahuasi Mountain, known as the nesting place of the Eagle and Condor. This sacred site invites you to create a “nest” in your heart, filling it with your purest intentions and preparing to share them with the world.

At Quillarumiyoc, connect with the energy of the Moon, the element of Water, and your emotional body. Engage in ceremonies that honor the Protective Mother and the sacred feminine, using the site’s profound energy to nurture your inner balance and wisdom.

The journey continues to the Maras Salt Mines, an awe-inspiring natural wonder and a testament to ancient ingenuity. These cascading salt terraces, carved into the hillside and fed by a natural spring, have been harvested since pre-Inca times. The shimmering white ponds, surrounded by rugged mountains and flowing streams, create a magical and otherworldly landscape.

Here, witness the intricate process of salt extraction, where water evaporates under the sun to reveal sparkling crystals. The beauty of the terraces, the light dancing across the salt fields, and the serene energy of the site leave a lasting impression.

Journey to Lake Titikaka with Stops at Tinajani or Raqchi

Depart Cusco for the majestic Lake Titikaka, considered the birthplace of the Children of the Sun. This scenic journey takes approximately 9–10 hours by bus, including stops to explore key sacred sites along the way.

During the journey, you’ll have the option to visit one of two incredible locations:

  • Raqchi (Temple of Wiracocha): Discover the Temple of Wiracocha, dedicated to the Logos Creator. This ancient temple, equidistant from Cusco as Machu Picchu but in the opposite direction, offers a profound connection to divine creation. Participate in a ceremonial experience within this sacred space.
  • Tinajani: Explore Tinajani’s otherworldly stone formations, a Pakarina (place of origins) symbolizing the womb of Mother Earth. This telluric site radiates a powerful, grounding energy.

Continuing along this energetic path, pass through the pre-Inca city of Pucara, known for its rich history and unique cultural significance.

Arrive at your hotel, located on the shores of the serene and sacred Lake Titikaka.

A Journey through Inka Camaña, Aramu Muru, and the Mystical Crop Circles

Begin your day with an inspiring bus ride to Inka Camaña, where ancient Pre-Inka megalithic structures stand as timeless guardians of Lake Titikaka. These semi-circular and rectangular rock carvings, seamlessly blended into the mother rock, feature stairways leading to sacred altars that overlook the shimmering waters of the Sacred Lake. In this sanctuary of solar wisdom, connect deeply with Apu Kapia, the sacred mountain spirit, and the legendary great snake, Asiru Patjata, that guards the nearby volcano. The serene energy of this site invites reflection and reverence as we attune to its spiritual essence.

Next Stop:
Journey to the mystical Aramu Muru Doorway, revered as Ajayu Marka (the Spirit Place) and historically known as Willka Uta (“The House of the Sun” or “The House of Divinity”). Begin with a walk along the Ceremonial Path, tracing the footsteps of the ancients from the Inca’s Drinking Place, where the Inca is said to have absorbed Light itself.

Here, participate in a transformative Solar Activation Practice, awakening your Inner Sun in communion with the radiant Father Sun. This sacred practice will energize and align the miniature suns within your cells, allowing you to embody your true Body of Light.

Our hike will symbolize a profound spiritual journey through the three realms of Andean cosmology:

  • The Serpent (Ukhu Pacha): Delve into the inner world of transformation.
  • The Puma (Kay Pacha): Ground yourself in the strength and vitality of the earthly plane.
  • The Condor (Hanan Pacha): Soar to the higher realms of divine connection, delivering your message to the Cosmos and opening your heart to its response.

At the Interdimensional Doorway of Lord Aramu Muru, marvel at the two luminous columns that flank this gateway to divinity. The energy of this portal resonates deeply within the heart, unveiling a profound pathway to your inherent divine essence.

Final Destination:
End the day exploring the enchanting Mystical Crop Circles, a site brimming with the wisdom of the ancients. These Pre-Inka circular designs, used for agricultural and ceremonial purposes, represent the eternal Law of the Circle—symbolizing unity, continuity, and balance. Here, we will explore the sacred concept of Muyoc, one of the many expressions of Divinity. Take a moment to immerse yourself in the site’s powerful energy, feeling the timeless connection to Mother Earth and the cosmos.

Our journey begins at the Temple of Fire, where we will engage in a ceremonial connection with the Cosmic Spiral, awakening the ancient wisdom held within this sacred land. Explore the enigmatic Chullpas (Burial Towers), which hold the secrets of rebirth. These ancient towers will serve as witnesses to a transformative Solar Disc Imposition Ceremony, a ritual to reconnect with your inner light and essence as a child of the Sun—radiant, warm, and luminous.

After returning to the hotel for a brief rest, we’ll head to the intriguing site of Inka Tunuhuire, a ceremonial center with Pukara influences, situated atop a pyramid-shaped hill adorned with terraced landscapes.

BY BOAT TO UROS FLOATING ISLANDS & TAQUILE ISLAND: DREAMING AND CLEANSING CEREMONIES

We embark on an unforgettable journey across the serene waters of Lake Titicaca, the cradle of Andean spirituality.

Our first destination is the iconic Uros Floating Islands, a marvel of human ingenuity built entirely from totora reeds. Here, step onto these buoyant islands and connect with the ancestral wisdom of the Uros people. Next, aboard a traditional reed boat, we will participate in a Dreaming Ceremony, guided by the nurturing energy of the Cosmic Mother Pachamama. Lying on the gentle sway of the reed boat, you will be invited to dream and envision the life you wish to create, guided by the pure intent of your heart—a ceremony of renewal and hope for the new YOU.

Continue your voyage across the shimmering waters to the enchanting Taquile Island, a UNESCO-recognized haven of cultural heritage. Upon arrival, descend to the pristine beach of the island, where we will hold a sacred Water Ceremony in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Titicaca, the legendary birthplace of the Children of the Sun. This ceremony of cleansing and purification will guide you in releasing old energies, embracing illumination, and reconnecting with the powerful energy of the Temple of Illumination and the Solar Disc.
