After acclimatizing and exploring iconic sites like Coricancha and Sacsayhuaman, you will venture into the Sacred Valley to visit the community of Chinchero and the agricultural terraces of Moray. The adventure deepens as you journey to the towering, snow-capped Mount Ausangate for a three-day high-altitude camping retreat. Here, guided by authentic Andean Masters, you will participate in group meditation and traditional offerings to Mother Earth at pristine sacred lagoons. Following this spiritual immersion, you will board a train to explore the magnificent cloud-forest citadel of Machu Picchu.
