Five days of spiritual connection, ancestral ceremonies, and learning about Andean shamanic traditions at sacred sites in the Sacred Valley.
The 5-Day Inca Shamanic School offers a unique opportunity to learn about and connect with the ancestral traditions of the Q’eros, who are considered the guardians of Andean wisdom. Through ceremonies and initiations held at sacred sites amidst nature, participants will discover techniques for harmonization and spiritual growth that remain relevant today.

Does the program include hotel services and daily meals?
No. The package covers private transfers, ceremonies, guiding services, and the activities included in the itinerary. Accommodation and meals must be booked independently.
Is prior experience in Andean initiation or spirituality required?
No. The Karpay initiation ceremonies and rituals are structured to guide participants progressively, making them suitable for both beginners and those with experience in holistic disciplines.
Do the ceremonies involve the ingestion of a power plant?
No. It is a process of healing, meditation, and energetic initiation based exclusively on elements of nature, prayers, crystals, ancestral music, and traditional rituals, without the use of psychoactive plants.
What is the hike at Laguna de Kinsacocha like on Day 2?
It is a low-intensity, contemplative walk along the shores of the lagoon in Andean terrain, where the main challenge lies in the altitude. It is undertaken at a steady, unhurried pace to allow for the performance of alignment rituals and the *Karpay* ceremony.
