13-day luxury ayahuasca & San Pedro retreat in the Sacred Valley
Three living lineages, Shipibo, Q'eros and Chavín, in one journey: four ayahuasca ceremonies, two San Pedro ceremonies, Andean rites and Machu Picchu, at a luxury sanctuary at the foot of Apu Pitusiray.
The journey
Over 13 days you move through a complete arc: arrival, purification, deep ceremony, cultural immersion and conscious return. Nothing is rushed; rest, ceremony, culture and integration support one another.
Raíces Inkas is a luxury sanctuary at the foot of Apu Pitusiray, a mountain revered by the Andean people for thousands of years. Open shalas overlook the peaks, organic meals are prepared fresh each day, and every room is quiet and comfortable.
The ceremonies
- Four ayahuasca ceremonies with Maestro Chonon Sany, held with Shipibo icaros and personal attention, each building on the last.
- Two San Pedro (huachuma) ceremonies at sacred outdoor sites, the Temple of the Moon and the ancient water sanctuary of Urco, guided by Chawa Sayri Tupac.
- Rapé ceremonies, Q'eros rituals and coca leaf reading with Pampa Misayoq Lorenzo Vásquez Pauqkar.
Beyond the maloca
You stand in Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun in Cusco, walk the circular terraces of Moray and see dawn over Machu Picchu, arriving by first-class train the evening before. Every ceremony is followed by an integration circle, with private time with each guide. On the last day you write a letter to your future self, sent back to you months later, and the retreat closes with a gala dinner cooked with a Peruvian chef and live Andean music.
