Our second day at Lares will be an integration day with cacao and song. This is a perfect opportunity for us to rest, relax and prepare for the journey upward that lies ahead.
Apu Ausangate
Finally, we will make our way to one of the most ancient pilgrimage destinations in all of the Americas, the mountain of Ausangate. This behemoth of a mountain has been used for thousands of years by people from all over the Americas due to it's incredible beauty and close proximity to the ancient city of Cusco. We will have an opportunity to bathe in the frigid waters of the sacred Otorongo Lago which holds the power to cleanse generations of stored up Jucha (energetic baggage).
Arin Valley
For the first five nights we will stay in the incredibly endearing village of Arin famous for it's spectacular waterfalls. We will be well cared for in the beautiful sanctuary of Munay Sonqo. This immaculate retreat center is secluded, safe and comfortable... perfect for deep inner work. Their Kitchen is top notch and will provide three delicious meals each day that will harmoniously accompany our spiritual work.

While the trail is considered to be of moderate difficulty, this is a serious undertaking and should not be underestimated. Please come prepared with waterproof shoes, warm clothes, rain jacket and a warrior mentality. Horses will be available to carry packs and for those who are overly fatigued and in of need rest. We will work with the medicines of Washuma and Coca daily to provide power and spiritual connection with the spirits of the mountains.
