OVERVIEW
DAY 1: AYAHUASCA HEALING CEREMONY (CUSCO – KALLACHACA – HUARAN)
At the beginning of the Ayahuasca Healing 2D/1N, your Tour Guide picks you up from your hotel at 8 am to head for the archaeological mystic pyramids of Kallachaca. After a 30-minute ride, you arrive at Kallachaka, this wonderful site was built around the year 1400 during the reign of the Cusi Yupanqui (Pachacutec).
One of the pyramids is called Solar Pyramid and it is opposed to its twin – the Lunar Pyramid, not yet excavated by archaeologists. Kallachaka not only hides its awesome pyramids but also a hydraulic engineering masterpiece since the below located Inkilltambo River is channelled in perfectly. You enjoy the energy of the site during a guided tour. Afterwards, you have a vegetarian box lunch there.
Later, we continue to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to a village of Huaran. At 5:30 pm, we are welcomed by two experienced shamans at the healing temple in Huaran. The names of this couple are Gaby and Albert and they give an introduction speech prior to the ceremony to provide you with some instructions and recommendations. Also, they make a personal observation to find an appropriate dose of the potion in accordance with your physical and mental capacity.
At around 6:30 pm, the Ayahuasca healing ceremony starts with drinking the Ayahuasca beverage under the supervision of both shamans. After that, you experience visions, discover your inner self, clean yourself of horrible experiences from the past and find your inner peace. The effect of the potion lasts approximately 6 hours, during which the Shamans take care of you. At the end of the ceremony, the shaman makes you gain your consciousness again. Afterwards, you might feel like a free person both, spiritually and physically. The ceremony ends at 1 am. Then, you spend the night in the healing centre.
DAY 2: AYAHUASCA HEALING CEREMONY (HUARAN – CUSCO)
Gaby and Albert prepare a healthy vegetarian breakfast for you using natural and organic products. At 9 am, they wake you up slowly to serve you breakfast. Within the meal, you might share your experience of the ceremony with the shamans and other participants. After breakfast, you receive a personalized interpretation of your visions you had within the ceremony.
