The ruins of Machu Picchu, rediscovered in 1911, by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham, are one of the most beautiful and enigmatic ancient sites in the world. While the Incan people certainly used the Andean mountain top erecting many hundreds of stone structures, from the early 1400s, legends and myths indicate that Machu Picchu (meaning ‘Old Peak’ in the Quechua language) was revered as a sacred place from a far earlier time.
Machu Picchu seems to have been utilized by the Incas as a secret ceremonial city.
For more info about Machu Picchu:
Some people say that the best way to rediscover your true self and freedom is to travel as much and as widely as you can. Why is this? What happens when we move that makes us feel freer and happier?
It has to do with the unknown! When we go, especially in countries with a culture very different from the culture we were brought up and see new places and faces, when everything is brand new, the mind stops. Nothing is the way we are used to be, so the mind can not follow its usual patterns and habitual behavior.
This adventure is a spiritual one as much as an external one! The essence of this trip is for you to overcome any fear that you might have at any level, spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, to gain back your power and finally set yourself free!
In the midst of coming back home to yourself, have fun, and meet new friends!
The Trip will be guided by Spiritual Teacher, Shaman & Healer Northern Deer Alexander, founder of the WORLD OF WISDOM & SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE community.
He will help each of you get the most out of the experience, and will guide you on a journey to awakening your true essence.
The trip includes daily practices to awaken the inherent part of our inner selves which is who we truly are!

3 HOURS (8K) 5 miles,
2940m-1878m
Our trip starts from Cusco. We leave for Cachora (the main town of the area) at around 8 am for lunchtime and stock up on snacks for the trek ahead. Then continue 30 minutes more by road to Capiliyoc to meet with the main trail around 2 pm.
We then have around 3 hours of downhill with some nice viewpoints of the Canyon and surrounding glaciers along the way, before arriving at Chiquisca (a small oasis with fruit trees), for our first night's rest.
Here we will meet our hosts, Roco and his partner Gimena, who will cook for us a nice dinner.
Rooms are simple and basic.
Their on-site facilities also offer a small shop, cold/hot showers, and basic wifi (until 8 or 9) depending on the charges of the Solar panels.

FULL-DAY TREK:
5-6 HOURS (9.5K) 6 miles,
1878m-1472m-2900m
After we have been served breakfast we pack and head further down into the Apurimac canyon no later than 8am. This way we can remain in the shade before the sun is out in full force.
Our first stage is a trek of around 1 hour down on switch-bags to the pedestrian bridge at Playa Rosalina. Here we reach the very bottom of the Canyon, and our lowest point of the trek.
Today, we should be taking snacks with us instead of a cooked lunch. This way, we eat light and trek without a heavy stomach. Ideally we should take plenty of energy bars, cookies, fruits and a sandwich or two to keep us going until the final stop.
We will then continue from the bridge for around 4.5-5 hours uphill on zig-zag pathway. This trail is fairly steep and we should account for lots of stops to recuperate along the way.
About 1.5-2 hours we meet the midway point at Santa Rosa Baja 1962m (a small campsite with a shop to buy Basic snacks or drinks) and then another 45 minutes-1 hour after at Santa Rosa Alta 2200m (abandoned campsite). From here we have around 2 more hours to trek to Marampata. This will be the hardest part of the day but we should be at the top by around 3pm. Here, we can rest take a shower and enjoy the views.
We will stay at the simple lodges with panoramic views called ‘Mama Panchita’
Dinner can be taken early as we can take an early sleep and be ready for the next mornings early start.

It ranges between 2750-3050m.
We can leave any time between 7 and 9am. We will therefore get there between 8.30 and 10,30am, as it will take 1.5 hours more or less, to arrive to the main area of the ruins.
When we get to the entrance we then take time to visit the main sectors and a guide will be with us to explain the main parts of the ruins.. The path is very steep and not for the faint-hearted or those with issues with high drops however It is worth the effort.
We should have plenty of time to explore and take our picnic lunch during our time there.

We stay once again at Marampata where we were on the previous night.

LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
There is no way to separate a trip, a journey to a faraway country, without having a spiritual experience. For such a big trip, the spirit under which it operates and its intention is immense!
Our attention is to enjoy life, expand our awareness and self-knowledge, become empowered from our experiences which will lead us to be more alive and also learn something important and valuable in the way that we can carry with us, inside us, in our memories, in our actions, and in our hearts. Our purpose in this journey is to experience these transformative moments as consciously as we can so that this trip will be an excellent memory and a way to remember ourselves and return reborn!
The spirit under which we operate and the presence of a spiritual teacher together with us during all days ensure that the energy of our experience will be many times deeper than only what is the outward journey and activity!
