Our 10-day program will allow you to travel to sacred places, which are of archaeological and historical importance and act as portals of spiritual energy. Together we will bask in that amazing energy by meditating, doing rituals, and often doing some yoga in these places to magnify our reception of this energy. This is a place many desire to embrace. You don t want to get to the end of your time here regretting that you have not embraced and been embraced by these sacred mountains. The Kundalini of the world now resides there. This trip will rejuvenate you and revitalize the true purpose of your journey to earth. Your fears will come up when taking this leap. Thank your fears and dive into your vastness, your true essence. Fulfill your longing to know and your desire to expand your gifts. Today is the day that you decide to take the leap or play safe. The leap offers you the connection you long for. Is this the day to say yes to a dream fulfilled? You only make the leap into the vastness of you by your choices. Choose vast options and options with vastness embedded. I look forward to taking this deep dive with you. Wahe Guru Love to You, Gurutej

Day 1: Tuesday, March 20 Southern Valley - Tipon Upon your arrival at Cusco by or before 10:00 am, we will be waiting at the airport to pick you up then take you on a liesurely drive along the Southern Valley of Cusco where we will visit the Tipon ruins, an archaeological site where you will see an exceptional hydraulic system with vertical and horizontal channels over a staired terrace. The water flows from underground to a fountain that distributes the water through these channels. It used to be an important agricultural production center. You will be checking-in at the Sonesta Posada Yucay Hotel in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Sacred Valley, at 8,000 ft. above sea level, is 600m (2,000 ft.) lower than Cusco, making it easier to adjust to the high altitude, so take your time to relax at lunch time and get acclimated.
Day 2: Wednesday, March 21 Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes Daily Meditation Breakfast You will visit the community in Ollantaytambo where you will get the chance to experience local life firsthand. There is a regional artisans market there where you will find wonderful artists. From there, you will take a gentle hike along the water channel to the terraces and you will visit the Ollantaytambo Inca Fort, then catch the Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes. The rail journey is one of the most spectacular in the world. It follows the Urubamba river through the spectacular canyon of Vilcanota to the lost city of the Incas. Lunch will be at the Inkaterra hotel where you can rest for the remainder of the day and night.
Day 3: Wednesday, March 22 Sacred Center of Machu Picchu Daily Meditation Breakfast You will board the bus in the morning and will have a 25-minute drive to visit the Sacred Center of Machu Picchu. Your expert guide will share the most current information and personal insights on Machu Picchu. You will have the opportunity to meditate and do a special ritual to get attuned to the special energy of the place. After sightseeing, you will return by bus to Aguas Calientes and later you will board the Vistadome train to return to Yucay.
Day 4: Friday, March 23 Moray and Salt Mines Daily Meditation Breakfast In the morning, you will visit Moray. The drive will be across a high rolling plain with a magnificent view of the Andean snow peaks. Moray is a unique archaeological site characterized by depressions or natural gigantic holes on the surface of the area with contours that were used to construct farming terraces or agricultural platforms with their respective irrigation canals. What powerfully calls the attention is the difference of annual average temperature between the highest areas and the bottom of the depressions, which manages to register at 15 C (in the principal depression of approximately 30 meters deep). Because of its climatic conditions and other characteristics, Moray was an important center of domestication, acclimatization and hybridization of vegetables and wild plants that were modified or adopted for human consumption. After Moray, you will continue towards the famous salt ponds of Maras, where the local people have been processing and harvesting salt for over 1,000 years. From the salt mines, you will return to the Sonesta Posada Yucay Hotel where you will continue your stay.
Day 5: Saturday, March 24 Cusco - Ruins at Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, and Pucapucara You will drive to Cusco and visit the interesting zoo, and be awed by the nearby ruins at Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, and Pucapucara. You will then return to the Sonesta Posada Cusco Hotel. Day 6: Sunday, March 25 Cusco - Qorikancha You will go to the Cusco Cathedral and Qorikancha Sun Temple. You will have a free afternoon at the Sonesta Posada Cusco Hotel.
