Over 14 days, you will usher in a transformation of spirit. You will embark on your own personal healing journey, guided by a community of healers, and immerse yourself in an authentic experience living among the Indigenous people of the Andes.
Tupaq, Amy and their ayllu of medicine people have partnered to bring you a solid foundation and experiential immersion in Andean Energy Medicine of the Inkas. Under their guidance, within a sacred community of healers, you will be initiated along your healing path. You’ll return home lighter, more connected to yourself, and in deeper connection with the natural world and the cosmic beings here to guide you.
Experience Peru as it was meant to be felt. You won’t be lost in a sea of tourists, but held in a sacred valley of healing.
This journey is like no other.
An Immersive Indigenous Healing Experience
You’ll initiate your healing journey, in Pisac where you’ll spend three days with Amy. She'll guide and support you in learning the foundational knowledge, practices, and rituals to help provide context for your healing work with the Paqos. You’ll have time to rest, and explore the village by foot, as you acclimate to the altitude. Here we will weave our energies, and create a cohesive SAPAN AYLLU, or healing community. Next…
We’ll spend 6 days at Túpaq’s family’s ancestral home of Pomaqanchi immersing ourselves in the healing life ways of the Andean Paqo tradition. You’ll have the rare opportunity to learn directly from the source: Andean healing masters who have learned their craft through generations of study and connection to their lineage of light, the Pachamama and Celestial Mountain Spirits that govern the Andean Cosmology.
From our community of paqo healers and teachers, you’ll clarify your body-mind, deepen your connection to yourself, experience ceremonies to help you actualize your relationship to the earth, the Pachamama and the Cosmic Beings here to support you in your spiritual evolution. Through individualized attention, you’ll receive gifts of personal practices, rituals, and healing ceremonies to guide you on your healing journey that you can practice even after you return home.
Together we’ll travel to sacred sites for cleansing and purification.
We’ll culminate our journey in a pilgrimage to a holy mountain, to camp for 3 nights. On the mountain, we’ll integrate our healing with the support of the Apus (mountain spirits).
After descending from the mountain, we’ll gather in Cusco and have a bit of time to explore this magnificent and historical INKA city, culminating in a final celebratory dinner together.
Carry Home A Personalized Healing Practice
This is a rare opportunity to deeply explore your own consciousness and relationship to the dimensions of being in relationship with the celestial forces, and engage in healing practices while being held in a safe container by masterful healers and teachers. You’ll be immersed in the Indigenous culture of Tupaq and his brothers, the Ayllu K’anchaq Qollur. We’ll stay within their ancestral home, share traditional meals, and experience personalized healing handed down from generations in this sacred village in the Andes.
You will begin your journey with a personalized divination reading (coca qhaway) of your multidimensional health and well being. You'll receive personalized practices and teachings to create more balance, flow, and connection in your life. You’ll experience healing directly from the Paqos while in Peru, then return home with the tools to continue your journey at home. This is an all levels journey.
Your personalized healing practices might include:
We’ll begin each day with morning meditations. In the afternoons, you’ll receive ceremonies and practices from the Ayllu and focus on your healing journey. Throughout our time in the valley, we’ll visit sacred sites and eventually make a pilgrimage to the holy mountain of Apu Ausgangate. You’ll have an opportunity to nourish your body with delicious and healthy Peruvian meals, explore the city of Cusco, shop at Andean markets, and visit historical sites.

About Maiima
Maiima is a healer, teacher, and recording artist walking the sacred path of the paqo in the Inkan tradition. Her journey began in 2004, when the apus—mountain spirit beings—began to speak to her through dreams and song. In 2011, she received her first initiation from her teacher, Túpaq Ttito Kuntur, and continues to walk the path of the Ñusta Paqo under his guidance as a Hampiq Ñusta Yachachiq Paqo.
Her music is a natural outpouring of her spiritual practice—songs received in ceremony, pilgrimage, and moments of deep listening. Rooted in prayer, her voice carries a gentle frequency of remembrance and healing.
With more than two decades of experience in somatic, shamanic, and energetic healing, Maiima weaves her background as a psychotherapist with Andean energy medicine to support deep integration and soul embodiment. She offers one-on-one healing, group work, sacred music, and retreats as pathways for others to reconnect with the sacred and walk in alignment with their own truth.
About Túpaq
Túpaq Ttito Kuntur was born in Pomaqanchi, Peru, into a lineage of Andean medicine keepers. From a young age, he was guided by his grandfather and parents, both pampamisayoqs—keepers of the earth and carriers of plant wisdom. His early life was shaped by the living transmission of this ancestral path.
Marked by profound initiations, Túpaq has walked the path of the paqo with great sacrifice and devotion. He was struck by lightning twice—once as a child and again as an adult—and endured the sudden loss of both his grandfather and father during adolescence. In the wake of grief and an unexplainable illness, he set out alone to seek healing. This journey of self-initiation led him to become a Pampamisayoq, and through many years of rigorous training, initiations, and tests, the apus—sacred mountain spirits—bestowed upon him the Celestial Misha of Altomisayoq (Achiq Akulleq Paqo), a rare and sacred calling.
Beyond his role as a High Misayoq, Túpaq has also been called to walk the path of the Willaq Uma—a messenger and seer of the ancestral and cosmic realms. He carries forward the prophecy of the Inka, working to restore the spiritual power of the Tawantinsuyu, the fourfold sacred territory of the Inkan world, alongside others chosen for this time of great turning, as foretold in the Pachakutiq.
