SHAMANIC JOURNEYS - JUNE 2009
           MAGIC AT THE ANDES

Because this is the rare, precious opportunity you've been waiting for!
Unlike other tours to Peru, you will experience sacred sites and power
vortexes intimately and profoundly. This is not just a tour, but a spiritual
journey.

Breathe in the sacred wisdom of the ages. Meditate in temples thousands
of years old. Participate in life-changing ancient ceremonies and
experience the magnificence of your own being. Picture yourself breathing
the mystical air at the heights of the Andes Mountains. Your spirit will soar
as you experience one of the most beautiful and sacred lands on earth.
Walk in the footsteps of the ancient Inkas. The ancestors of the Andean
people still live in this precious "Paradise in the Sun," where the heart of
the masters still reigns.

Once again, the world has begun to recognize the Andes as one of the
greatest cultural and spiritual centers of the planet; the doors to new
dimensions of awareness are opening to us, and we are now unearthing
and reviving ancient, hidden knowledge, due to the beginning of the new,
tenth Pachakuti, or cosmic cycle. Andean history is divided into segments
of 1000 years, with a transformational era in the middle, every 500 years. We
recently passed one of these historical transitions in 1992. The ANDEAN
PEOPLE call this Pachakuti "turning of the times". Since long ago the
Andean culture zealously guarded their secrets. Now they are willing to
share this ancient knowledge. Are you ready to experience your true
nature? Now is the time to participate in sacred ceremonies from an
ancient, highly advanced civilization.

The Condors of the South are calling the Eagles of the North. Some of you
will know in your heart that you must go, you must experience this sacred
wisdom in the "Paradise of the Sun."

Mallku has been an artist and an advocate of the Andean Culture since his youth. A painter and
graphic designer, he co-authored books on natural medicine and Andean mysticism in the
1980's and authored his own brilliantly written books in the 1990's. His shamanic way of life led
him to the spiritual communities of Peru and Brazil, furthering his experiences in the magical
dimensions of Pachamama and Wiracocha. This path of sensitivity has permitted him over the
years to relive the message of his ancestors. His artistic vision is expressed through his
photography, where he captures natures magical moments. His works have been presented in
exhibitions and conferences worldwide. Some of Mallku's incredible magical art of the
archaeo-astronomy of Machu Picchu are shown at his books and different exhibitions.

"The Unknowable is not any of the deities, but all of them are contained within its
mystery."--teaching of Asuncion Acctu, wise elder of Pachacamac.
JUNE SOLSTICE TRIP 2008 - SOLAR INITIATIONS

DAY 1: JUNE 17TH: HOME - LIMA
Flight from home to Lima. Arrive Lima late night or very early next morning. Transfer to hotel for
overnight, depending on your arrival time. Overnight Lima.

DAY 2: JUNE 18TH: CHINCHERO AND SACRED VALLEY
Depart for our morning flight to Cusco. Bus to the Sacred Valley. On the way to our hotel we will stop at
Chinchero and visit the amazing Earth Altar. Overnight in Sacred Valley. DISCOVER THE MAGICAL
HATUN CHINKANA, WHICH IN THE MASTER PATH IS AN INITIATION PLACE. THIS WAKA. WHICH IS A
BRAIN ITSELF. WILL PERMIT US TO TRAVEL TO THE DIMENSIONS OF OUR SOUL.

Chinchero, called "El Pueblo Del Arco Iris" (the town of the rainbow), is high up on a spectacular place,
around 12,000 feet above sea level, with tremendous views of the Urubamba mountain range as well as
the majestic Salkantay mountain that reaches almost 19,000 ft. Chinchero is halfway between the Sacred
Valley and Cusco, to the northwest of Cusco, at 28 km. (17.4 miles). The town of Hispanic architecture is
built on old Inka constructions. Its people are very conservative of some andean traditions, wearing
picturesque clothing. We will be in Chinchero on Sunday, the day of the "qhatu" (market)--exchange fair
of agricultural products, in which the use of the currency is discarded and everything is made in
exchange. Also outstanding the textile crafts (crafts as well as local produce).

Here we will participate in a ceremonial prayer for mother earth (Pachamama), safety in our travels, and
our own personal wishes. The offering may consist of nuts, seeds, petals, leaves, herbs, stones, corn,
wool and other elements.

DAY 3: JUNE 19TH: SACRED VALLEY
Morning visit to Moray, an ancient Inka site with circular terraces that used to create exceptional
conditions or micro climates that fostered domestication, acclimatization and hybridization of a wide array
of wild vegetable species that were modified or adapted for human consumption. Here our shaman will
instruct us in walking exercises and a meditation in the center circle of this amazing power spot.

After we continue to the salt mines of Maras, amazing ponds terraced down the Andean mountainside.
Still in use today, these ponds are filled from a single salty spring.

In the afternoon we will explore the absolutely unique and ancient city of Ollantaytambo, where the
buildings still retain the original architecture of the Inkas. We will have an opportunity to enter into one of
the homes and see how the people have and continue to live for hundreds of years. As we explore the
vast temple complex adjacent to the village, we will engage in a ceremony. Our climb to the top takes us
to the Sun Temple, whose huge red porfire blocks were placed overlooking the village and the Urubamba
River. (There are two ways up and down that are more or less steep.) Back at our hotel in the evening,
we will have a special meditation ceremony where we will be introduced to the Sacred Fire. Overnight in
the Sacred Valley.

Moray: An archaeological site with concentric agricultural terraces, some as deep as 150 meters. This
"Earth's Navel" is thought to be a large agricultural laboratory where the Inkas created different
micro-climates to grow a large variety of crops. Here we may perform a metamorphosis ritual, attuning
our body/mind with electromagnetic energy from Earth's Navel. An important fact of the Inka's technology
was that its works harmonize perfectly with nature. They used the natural forces, they mastered hydraulic
engineering, and knew the use of the earth. For instance, thanks to the "andenerías" (agricultural
circular terracing) system, they could sow in abrupt places and avoid the erosion. The attractiveness of
this area can be distinguished for its impressive landscape (nature and big snowy mountains), pleasant
climate, fertile lands with abundant water, megalithic cultural evidences, people and its traditions.

Ollantaytambo: A National Archaeological Park is located in the Ollantaytambo district, province of
Urubamba. Here is an amazing architectural wonder of unrivaled skill, believed to be built by solar
masters. The town is about 76 Kms. (47.2 miles) away from Cusco by the road Chinchero - Urubamba
and about 68 kilometers (42.2 miles) by railway at an altitude of 2700 meters (8856 feet). It is a very vast
complex which central part is in the town and its surroundings; traveling from Cusco, from Pachar there is
a large amount of farming terraces that are already part of the complex. Those terraces are deteriorated
and most of them abandoned. The water that irrigated them does not flow any more. Their stone
aqueducts that were a master work of engineering were extended by many kilometers; but, today they do
not exist any more. The reason is that today no one is preoccupied with keeping them and because we
had almost five centuries in which the invaders were not interested in agriculture but only in mining gold
and silver.

DAY 4: JUNE 20TH: AGUAS CALIENTES - MACHU PICCHU
This morning we will take the spectacular train ride to Aguas Calientes, where we will check into our hotel
before visiting the famed city of Machu Picchu, named by Mallku as the Crystal City, the Rainbow City,
the City of the Condor and the Hummingbird, the City of Peace, and the City of Light.

The legendary beauty of this magnificent city defies description. There are many trails and power sites to
explore here, and we will have ample opportunity for ceremony to open to a deeper experience of the
intrinsic magic of this amazing city and temples. Guided visit with esoteric insights on the various
temples and power spots. Participate in inspiring spiritual ceremonies to enhance your connection with
your divine self- a trans personal, transformational journey within. In the evening you will have the
opportunity to bathe in the hot springs of Aguas Calientes. We will reach and visit the little village of
Aguas Calientes. Here we will participate in a spiritual ceremony in the hot springs where Shirley
MacLaine had her phenomenal experiences. Overnight Machu Picchu area.

Aguas Calientes, is the nearest town to Machu Pichu (it is located 8 km. away). It is the richest little town
in Peru. It has hot thermal springs (related to its name) where many tourists will stop after having done
the Inka Trail.

DAY 5: JUNE 21TH: MACHU PICCHU: "CRYSTAL CITY" - "CITY OF RAINBOWS"
Early in the morning we enter Machu Picchu to take part in a ceremony for a deeper journey into the
inner path to gain confidence in our souls and our unique purpose. We return to Cusco on an afternoon
train and bus, overnight in the "navel of the world."

Healing Ceremony in Machu Picchu. Offerings to Pachamama and possible ascension to Wayna Picchu
mountain. Introspection and contemplation on the mysteries of this holy city. Guided visit to the top of
Machu Picchu, the Temple of the Light, or the Sun Gate and temple of Inner Work.

Machu Picchu: the "Lost City of the Inkas," "City of Light for Initiates," An ancient site fed by grids of
powerful natural energies patterned by surrounding mountains and extensive underground tunnels.

Shamanic belief is that for millennia this site served as an initiatory center for higher learning. The
sanctuary cover many square kilometers constructed of mortared terraces and connected by endless
stairs carved from solid rock all around the mountains. Throughout the ages, the sheltered temple sights,
geophysically conducive atmospheres were used for ritual and mind-altering experiences. Shamanic
legend says that touching one's forehead to the Intiwantana Stone opens one's vision into the Spirit
World. Tune into Wakas (sacred spots) of individual rocks and boulders. Experience the classic "magical
flight" of shamanic ecstasy.

Today it is a Historic National Sanctuary, protected by the Peruvian Government, that tries to conserve
the geological formations and archaeological remains inside the Sanctuary, besides protecting its flora,
fauna and landscape's beauty. The whole park has an extension of 80,535 acres (32,592 hectares;
125.83 mile).

DAY 6: JUNE 22ND: CUSCO
Morning visit Tipon, an ancient agricultural site with many terraces and an intricate irrigation system that
runs along the Temple of the Water. We stop in Cusco for lunch then on to visit Amaru Machay, The
Cave of the Serpents. Guided ceremonies at these powerful location, and Q'enqo, the sacred place of
the Puma. Our guide Mallku is a specialist in Q'enco and its rich lore and history. Overnight in Cusco.

The Archaeological Park of Tipon. Tipon, a place of great water fountains, is another one of the most
important architectural complexes found in Cusco. This old site is located 23 km. Southeast of the Inka
capital at a height of 3,600 meters above sea level; the highest area of the park is found at the pass of
Ranraq'asa above 3,900 meters. It belongs to the district of Oropesa, province of Quispicanchis in Cusco.

Historian Luis Antonio Pardo says the real name of Tipon may come from the Quechua word Timpuj
which means "to be boiling", and it relates to the water flowing out of the fountains as if the liquid was
boiling. This name was recently made up since the original name is not known.

Victor Angles holds that Tipon could have been the Royal House of Yahuar Waka, who retreated here
after being defeated by the Chancas. His son Wiracocha faced the Chancas and defeated them, being
crowned Inka instead of his father.

Garcilaso de la Vega wrote the following: "It was determined that the son, as most of the court decided,
would be the head of the kingdom; and to avoid riots and civil wars, they accepted everything the prince
wanted. After it was agreed, they obtained a Royal House, between Muyna and Quepicancha, in a
pleasant place with all the gifts, fields, gardens and other royal amusements for hunting and fishing. The
house was built close to the Yucay river.." Angles assumes that the place identified by Garcilaso is Tipon.

The Watanay river passes close to Tipon and two small rivers flow out of it to surround the complex.
These could be the small rivers that the Garcilaso wrote about. Muiuparka: A vortex where Inkas
performed rituals to create perfect union with the Creator and Cosmic energy (phenomenal healings
occur here.)

Q'enco and Amaru Machay (Cave of the Serpent): Q'enco means labyrinth or zigzag. Located 2km from
Cusco, this temple dedicated to Mother Earth is a unique center of worship and for ceremonies. It has
numerous ceremonial carvings, holes and canals cut into the rock. One of its features is a semi-natural
underground chamber. Limestone formation intricately carved with depictions of mythical beings, as well
as winding underground passageways and semicircular amphitheater. Believed to have been used for
worshipping the Earth. Temple of the Living Light ceremonial altar and main spiritual center. Dedicated to
the Puma, the vibrant vortexes are some of the most powerful for initiates, plus the mysterious Amaru
Machay --powerful initiation in the Cave of the Serpent.

DAY 7: JUNE 23RD: SACRED VALLEY O F THE INCA
Today we will explore a nice market at Pisac and the Inka Altars around Cusco:

In the morning we will enjoy the Andean market of Pisac where there are both traditional and tourist
markets- the best in the region. The entire mountain behind the village is considered an archaeological
treasure, and for good reason. We are bussed several miles up to the top, from where we can hike
downhill past ancient sites and burial grounds along an amazing trail with breathtaking views. We arrive
at an Inka temple, Intiwatana, we have a ceremony, then continue to a place where our bus has driven to
meet us during one of the most beautiful walks in this region.

In the afternoon we visit Sacsaywaman, which is a huge, stunning site which holds the great house of the
Sun, where the head of the Puma of Cusco resides. Its megalithic, zigzag stone walls were pieced
together with amazing skill, drawing the SNAKE AND OTHER ANDEAN SYMBOLS, like a lightening bolt
across a great field. After our ritual, we will return to Cusco.

Pisac (2,970m) constitutes one of the most important Archaeological Sites in the region. It is located
about 30 Kms. (18.6 miles) Northwest of Cusco City. Possibly its name comes from a type of partridge
very common in the area known as "Pisaca". A vital Inka road once snaked its way up the canyon that
enters the Urubamba Valley at Pisac. The city, at the entrance to this gorge, now in ruins, controlled a
route that connected the Inka Empire with Paucartambo, on the border of the eastern jungles. Set high
above a valley floor patchworked by patterned fields and rimmed by vast terracing, the stonework and
panoramas at Pisac's Inka city are magnificent. Terraces, water ducts and steps have been cut out of
solid rock, and in the upper sector of the ruins, the main Sun Temple is equal of anything at Machu
Picchu. Above the temple lie still more ruins, mostly unexcavated, and among the higher crevices and
rocky overhangs several ancient burial sites are hidden.

The colonial town named Pisac in the lower part of the valley was established as consequence of the
famous "Indians Reductions" by which the Quechuas were joined in small towns. Historians suggest
that it was established in order to protect the great capital from possible attacks of the Antis nations (the
name of the "Andes" Mountains derives from "Anti"). Today it is still possible to observe the surrounding
wall that protected the most important zone of the city. Moreover, inside the protected area are the vast
farming terraces that supplied enough food for its inhabitants in case of sieges or conflicts; and there are
also aqueducts that supplied water for agricultural development. It seems that water for consumption of
the inhabitants was harnessed on the mountain's upper side and transported through underground
channels.

Pisac Market: Modern Pisac is a picturesque Andean Village. The village is best known for its market,
which draws hundreds of tourists. In spite of its popularity the market retains much of its local charm, at
least in the part where villagers from miles around gather to barter and sell their produce. In the tourist
section of the market you can buy a wide variety of handicrafts - mostly the same things you see in
Cusco. Pisac is a good place to buy the local ceramics including a huge and varied collection of
hand-painted multi-colored beads.

Sacsayhuaman (Sacsaywaman): Located one kilometers from the city of Cusco, the immense walls of
the complex made up of huge stones distributed in a zigzag pattern in three platforms with an average of
1,181ft in length. These platforms are connected by flights of stairs and doorways also in stone; one of
these is 2ft tall and 15ft wide and weighs more than 100 tons. The largest stone block found in
Sacsayhuaman stands 27.88ft high and weighs 130 tons. Together with the city of Cusco, this
monumental complex is considered one of the new seven wonders of the world. This huge construction
was planned and built by Andean Man. The Inkas called it the House of the Sun. The construction, which
is made up of three platforms one on top of the other, was one of the most important spiritual centers at
the Andes. Inka Pachakuti and other spiritual leaders considered this place as the most important temple
dedicated to the Sun.

DAY 8: JUNE 24TH: FESTIVAL IN CUSCO
In the morning we enjoy some of the choreographies related to the festivity of the Sun in Cusco city. PM
visit the House of the Moon. Late in the afternoon ceremony with drums.

DAY 9: JUNE 25TH: CUSCO/PUNO - LAKE TITIKAKA
Day trip by bus to Puno visiting sacred sites along the way. Overnight Puno. Nice trip to Lake Titikaka,
stopping along the way at the magnificent Temple of Wiracocha. We will arrive at our hotel near Puno in
the late afternoon.

Raqchi: On the road from Cusco to Puno in the town of Raqchi lies an Inkan city-temple, dedicated to the
most important entity Wiracocha. Raqchi is found on the right bank of the Vilcanota River, at an altitude
of 3600 ms. (11500 ft.). Apparently its pre-Hispanic name was "Cacha" and not "Raqchi". Raqchi was a
complex village with multiple constructions for various purposes; including farming terraces, "kanchas"
(plazas), "wayranas" (buildings having only 3 walls), "qolqas" (storehouses), different shrines, water
fountains, etc.

The most important building within the complex is the "Wiraqocha Temple", built by Inka Wiraqocha in
homage to the Superior Invisible Entity of Andean people: "Apu Kon Titi Wiracocha". The shrine was built
after the appearance of a man who began performing miracles, and the village inhabitants decided to
stone him to death. After searching for him, they found him knelt with arms extended skyward.
Immediately, a fire rain fell. With remorse the men left him free. That strange man went toward the coast
and submerged into the ocean waters, disappearing forever. Thereafter, a shrine was constructed in his
memory, as well as the sculpture of a stone representation. Concerning the fire rain, it may have been an
eruption of the presently extinguished volcano "Kinsach'ata." There is a great quantity of dried lava
(volcanic rock) around the area.

The "Wiraqocha Temple" is a grandiose construction for its era. In architecture it is classified as
"kallanka"; that is, a large building completely covered with a thatched roofing (wood and "ichu").

DAY 10: JUNE 26TH: POWER PLACES OF TITIKAKA
Today we discover the ancient AIMARA altars as we walk the sacred path on the Magical Serpent and
explore the Ajayu Marka, a dimensional world with its doors. Continue to Copamaya for a salutation to the
spirit of Titikaka and at the end of the afternoon, visit the Temple of Fertility. Overnight Puno.

Lake Titikaka and the House of the Golden Sun Disc. Peru is a land steeped in ancient wisdom that is
vital for our planet during these transitional times. Life in the Inkan empire was measured by a thousand
year cosmic cycle called an Inti, which means 'Sun'. This thousand year cycle was then divided into
halves, each of which was referred to as a Pachakuti ("he who transform the earth"). The cosmic vision of
the Andean world is the conception of duality that is in permanent opposition, but complementary, like the
principle of ying/yang that expresses this opposition. This same principle of duality applies to each
Pachakuti. However, Pachakuti also refers to the transitional time that divided each Pachakuti and this is
characterized as a time of great changes.

During the five hundred years of the eighth Pachakuti, Pachacuteq, the greatest spiritual leader of the
Inkas and the builder of Machu Picchu ruled. This was a time of light when the Inka Empire flourished
and there was expansion and good fortune.

The ninth Pachakuti, on the opposite side of the duality, brought with it the five hundred years of
darkness when the Spanish invaded the Andes. We are now entering the tenth Pachakuti, which the
Andean people refer to as the returning of Pachacuteq, the returning of the Light. This is the time when
the etheric crystal cities of the fourth dimension such as the lost golden city of Paititi and the eternal
etheric city under lake Titikaka will again be available to us.

One of the Solar Discs in the Inka time that was at Cusco, and placed in the Qorikancha, the main
Temple of the Sun, stayed there until the coming of the Spanish. At that time, it was returned to Lake
Titikaka and placed in the Eternal Etheric City inside the Lake. In the legend of their origin, this is the
place from where the first Inkas, Mallku Qapak and Mama Oqllo, entered the Earth.

Mallku Qapak and Mama Oqllo
The Solar Disc was used in the capacity of a cosmic computer that received light information directly from
the Universal Mind Source, Wiracocha, at the Universe. By entering the Temple of Illumination and
opening themselves, the Inkas could access the sacred wisdom. During this age of Pachakuti, the
sacred Solar Disc is to be re-activated accessing the cosmic wisdom. Many of the world's spiritual
leaders, as well as indigenous teachers, acknowledge the energy of the Andes, which is the expression
of the feminine electromagnetic light, having its center in the Lake Titicaca. This area is the
acknowledged portal through which the new feminine energies are entering Mother Earth "Pacha Mama".

We wonder how pre-Columbian and other great cultures had precise knowledge of astronomy, of
planetary and sidereal dimensions, without possessing the technology of today. These ancient peoples
built cities with solar orientation, knew about geographic and magnetic North, verified the precession of
the equinoxes, arrival of the solstices, passage of the Sun at the zenith, inclination of the axis of the
Earth's rotation axis in accord with the ecliptic (Earth's orbital plane), and elliptical orbit of the Earth
around the Sun. This is the mystery of the ancients, awakening wonder and awe as we visit Peru's
sacred sites.

DAY 11: JUNE 27TH: AMANTANI ISLAND - THE CENTER OF LIGHT
This morning we cross the highest navigable lake in the world to the island of Amantani. The spiritual
leader of the community will led us in a POWER OFFERING for Pachamama. This night we share with
the locals and stay in their homes.

Amantani Island is located 38 km from the city of Puno, 3,810 meters above sea level, 3,5 hours by
motorboat. Amantani is a beautiful island with warm and hospital inhabitants. Its greatest attraction is
based on the social, ethnic and archaeological aspects. Among its most important and well-known
places are the temples of Pachatata and Pachamama dedicated to the cult of the earth. From there on
you can have an excellent panoramic view of the lake, as well as a view of the oriental mountain range
and the Bolivian side with its mountain range.

Lake Titikaka Legend: Titikaka ("Rock of the Puma") was, according to Andean legend, the birthplace of
civilization. Wiracocha, the creator, brought light into a dark world by directing the Sun, Moon and stars
to rise up out of the lake and take their place in the sky. With time the Sun and Moon had children who
also rose from the depths of the lake. These new people were sent out from Titikaka to the four corners
of the earth, with Mallku Qapac and his sister Mama Oqllo and their family clan being sent off to inhabit
the Cusco region. Inka legend believed that Mallku was the first Inka and a direct descendent from the
Sun. The supposed location in Titikaka of the birthplace of the Sun, Moon and Mallku Qapac is actually
on the Bolivian side of the lake on the islands named the Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun) and Isla de la
Luna (Island of the Moon).

Lake Titikaka statistics: The world's highest lake navigable to large vessels, lying at 12,500 feet (3,810
m) above sea level in the Andes Mountains, astride the border between Peru to the Northwest and
Bolivia to the Southeast. Titikaka is the second largest lake of South America (after Maracaibo). It covers
3,200 square miles (8,600 square km) and extends for a distance of 120 miles (190 km). It is 40 miles (65
km) across at its widest point. A narrow strait, Tiquina, separates the lake into two bodies of water. The
smaller, in the Southeast, is called Lake Wiñay Marka which belongs to Bolivia; the larger, in the
Northwest, is called Lake Chucuito and belongs to Peru.

The lake averages between 460 and 600 feet (140 and 180 m) in depth, but the bottom tilts sharply
toward the Peruvian shore, reaching its greatest recorded depth of 920 feet (280 m) around the Soto
island in the lake's Northeast side.

More than Forty islands rise from Titikaka's waters. The largest, Titikaka Island (Spanish: Isla de Titikaka,
also called Isla del Sol), lies just off the tip of the Copacabana Peninsula in Bolivia. There are several
islands that can be accessed from Puno City. The most popular of these are the islands of Uros, Taquile
and Amantani.

Ruins on the shore and on the islands attest to the previous existence of one of the oldest civilizations
known in the Americas, antedating the Christian era. The chief site is at Tiwanaku, Bolivia, at the
Southern end of the lake.

DAY 12: JUNE 28TH: TEMPLES OF THE LIGHT
Early in the morning we ascend to the temples of Pachatata and Pachamama where we present our
offering to Pachamama and to life. After some lunch we boat back to the continent and will have our
transportation to Puno and have a free afternoon.

Puno City is located in the Southeast corner of Peru, on the shores of the magnificent Lake Titikaka and
only 126km from the frontier with Bolivia. At 3,830m in altitude, Puno is a melting pot of Andean cultures
including the Aimara from the South and Quechua from the North. This has earned Puno the title of
'Folkloric Capital of Peru' which it lives up to well with its huge number and variety of traditional fiestas,
dances and music.

The city, whose full name is San Carlos de Puno, was founded in 1668 following the discovery of nearby
silver mines. Prior to this, Puno had been a small stopping off place between the much larger silver
mines at Potosi in Bolivia and to the way to Lima.

Today, Puno is a predominately agricultural region. Its main economic activities are cultivating potatoes,
barley and quinoa, as well as raising cattle, sheep, llamas and alpaca. If you're looking for Peruvian
knitwear you'll find the markets in Puno have a huge selection and are probably the cheapest in Peru.

DAY 13: JUNE 29TH: SILLUSTANI, LIMA
Morning visit to the Andean Taj Majal at SILLUSTANI, another sacred site for our closing ritual and circle,
then transfer to the airport for our flight to Lima. If you are flying out that night, you will be taken directly
to the airport. If your flight is the next day, you will be transferred to your hotel in Lima for that night.

Sillustani: Sillustani is an ancient burial ground near lake Titikaka. The tombs are built above the ground,
and with deep symbolism. The ancient people in Peru believed in a mother earth that created and
regulated life. When a person died, they were mummified in the fetal position, just like they came into the
world. The doors of the tombs face east, because that is where the Sun is born from the mother earth
every day.

DAY 14: JUNE 30TH

PERU Travel Information

PERU WEATHER:
In general, Peru has two seasons, wet and dry, but in a country as geographically diverse as Peru, local weather patterns
vary greatly. In the highlands, the dry season is between May and November, but even the mountains' wet season is not
always wet and the dry season sees downpours. Temperatures during the day in the dry season can get hot. At night,
temperatures can drop quickly and a warm sweater makes walking around the plazas comfortable.
The Mountain Highlands (Cusco, Lake Titicaca)

Mid  April ­ October.
This period is the dry season, with hot, dry days and cold, dry nights, often hovering just above freezing, particularly in
June and July. May is perhaps the best month with the countryside exceptionally lush, yet with superb views and fine
weather. You'll find the flowers in full bloom, the grass green and the streams full.

November ­ Mid April
This is the wet season with most rain in January and February. It's usually clear and dry most mornings with outbursts of
heavy rain in the afternoons. The daily temperatures are typically mild with only a small drop at night.
The Coast (Lima, Nasca, Arequipa).

December ­ April
This is summertime on the coast where the weather is hot and dry and ideal for swimming and getting a tan.
Temperatures on average range from 25 ­ 35°C. There is little or no rain during these months.

May ­ November
From May to November the temperature drops a bit and you'll find blankets of sea mist engulfing the coast from the south
right up to about 200 km north of Lima. At this time of year only the northern beaches such as Mancora and Punta Sal are
warm enough to provide pleasant swimming.

WE RECOMMEND YOU TO:
- Use boots during treks and sneakers during long walks.
- Drinking lots of water on long excursions, especially at Lake Titikaka.
- Always take an umbrella or rain wear.

WATER
The tap water in most of Peru is potable, but the chemical content varies from place to place. To avoid problems, we
recommend that you always drink bottled water. Do not drink any tap water, even to brush your teeth. Do not eat any raw
salads, raw fruits or raw vegetables. If you want to purify your water before drinking it, your can either bring a 220-volt
heating coil for boiling water, or you can use water-purification tablets or a water purifier, which is available at any
camping store.

VALUABLES
Pickpockets abound in crowded areas and muggings in Cusco are on the rise. Therefore you are advised to leave all
valuables in the hotel safe, including passport, credit cards, and other identifying papers. You are advised to leave
valuable clothing, precious jewelry, valuable papers, and all unnecessary items at home and not take them to Peru.

HEALTH
Because you are visiting Andean areas, take precautions to avoid altitude sickness if you are prone to it. During your first
day move slowly and eat lightly, resting the first couple of hours. Drink lots of bottled water. We recommend that you get
CELL FOOD from a health food store. This product, created by NASA, has components to produce oxygen in a liquid form.
Please consult the CDC website for health information, and please keep in mind that we will not be visiting any tropical
regions in Peru: http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/destinationPeru.aspx

NOTES ON WALKING:
In Lake Titikaka area there are some visits that involve walking:

*Amantani Island, from the port on the island we need to walk a distance of one mile to get to the houses where we will
be lodged. The next morning, the ones who are ready will climb to the temples, which are one more mile far from the
houses. In none of these place we are running; we are walking and taking our time. The difference altitude from the port to
the temples in the next day is about 1000 feet. If some feels that can not make to the temples can wait in the lower part of
the island.

*Ajayu Marka Dimensional Door Way, from the bus we will walk a few meters to the first stops, not big deal to walk. For the
second part, we need to walk half a mile to get to the Dimensional Doorway. This is flat.

*Copamaya, we will meet a lovely community and to get there is not difficult, a walk of half a mile, some little climbing, but
accessible.

*Sillustani, here we will do a climbing similar to the one of Copamaya.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
At the airport in Lima, you will be met by our representative with a placard that has your name on it. You will be transported
to your hotel. At the time of your departure, our representative will take you to the airport. However, this will not happen
unless you have given us your detailed flight information.

BAGGAGE
For your flights within Peru, the weight limit is 20 kilograms (44.1 pounds) or less. If you exceed this weight, you will have
to pay a penalty. As you arrive in Lima, our representatives will add a kind of color cord to your bags for easy identification
during the trip. Generally as you arrive at the hotels, you do not need to handle luggage from one place to another. You
have to tell the porters of hotels to carry your luggage to your room. We recommend that all bags have your identification
name in order to bring to your room or to the places you need.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE
One U.S. dollar = approximately 2.70 PEN Peru Nuevo Sol (subject to fluctuation). You may experience difficulty in
exchanging traveler's checks outside Lima or in exchanging currency other than U.S. Dollars. Please consider changing
your money in Lima.

LAUNDRY
There are laundry services at the main towns, and the hotels are also doing this service. In Cusco, after returning from
Machu Picchu, you can use laundry at the hotel or at the different houses in town. Of course the hotels are always more
expensive.

INTERNET
There is internet service all over the main towns and some little ones. There are internet cabins or internet cafés in many
places, but if you prefer, you can bring your own laptop with all the accessories to plug in some of the hotels or even
internet cafes with wireless. In nearly all the hotels you find some internet services. Some are charging US $2 per hour,
and others offer for free. In towns you pay US $1 per hour.

PHONE CALLS
There are call centers in all the towns where you can make international phone calls for about 1 to 5 dollars per minute. If

least two or more. There will be at least three or four places where we meet children from communities or little villages in
the Lake Titikaka area.
