About this tour
Morning shamanic school with Q’ero shamans for self-healing in Pisac.
The Inca Shamanic School, developed in collaboration with shamans from the Q’ero community, offers a learning experience based on ancestral Andean techniques applied to meditation, healing, and personal growth. Its goal is to integrate Inca shamanic wisdom with contemporary practices to foster self-healing, personal transformation, and spiritual expansion, grounded in the principle of *Munay* (love). Activities take place in the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the surrounding area, generally from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, leaving the afternoons free for participants. Those wishing to attend must arrange their own accommodation in the town of Pisac, where they will find a variety of lodging, dining, and local natural products.
