Discover the secrets of Pachamama

$0.00 / from

Since ancient times, the coca leaf has served as a sacred channel of communication between humans and the spiritual world in the Andes. During the coca reading ceremony, guided by a shaman or Paq'o of traditional wisdom, participants seek answers, guidance, and inner balance. This ancient practice is rooted in the Inca worldview, which considers every element of nature a living being with its own energy.

During this mystical experience, you will participate in an emotional offering to Pachamama in a sacred place: the Templo de la Luna (Temple of the Moon) near Saqsayhuamán. There, surrounded by nature and ancient Inca altars, we will invoke the Apus (spirits of the mountains) and Mother Earth. We will give thanks, ask for guidance, and restore spiritual harmony.
