Pilgrimage is when a community ventures out of their homeland to travel to Sacred Sites (wacas) in order to leave offerings to something greater than ourselves. Join us for an extraordinary journey through the majestic Andes, where we will explore ancient sites, engage with potent plant medicines, trek to breathtaking altitudes, rejuvenate in hot springs, indulge in Peru's rich culinary heritage, participate in communal prayers, and so much more.
