About this trip

Walk Through The Light 


'Jump at any opportunity to travel with Erica and Trepta Tribe if they ever go back to Peru.' - Amy R


A shaman is one that can walk both worlds with ease and certainly a familiar ancientness is awakened within the moment you step foot on the powerful earth of Peru. 


Our journey through sacred spaces returns to The Kingdom of the Sun with the intention of inspiring journeyers to feel that the veil between magically deep connection and daily life, isn't that thin. 

Tap into the powerful spirit and majestic beauty of the Andes Mountains on this transformational trip created specifically for the heart-centered curious adventure traveler in you! 


Starting our exploration in Cusco, we take in the Sacred Valley with Ancient Ruins, hike magnificent valleys, rebalance in alkalising Salt Flats, experience and participate in ancient ritual, take part in shaman-led ceremonies, explore ancient Incan temples, score artesian finds in local markets and spend two days in sacred Unesco World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu, and maybe even challenge yourself to climb to the peak!


 With 4 and 5 Star accommodations to rest our heads and to treat our senses, delicious world class food to fill out bellies, you'll be submersed in the natural beauty and wonder of these mystical lands which are truly breathtaking and life inspiring. The elevated altitude will bring us closer to our higher selves and set the pace for a week of detoxing release, however you need. 


Join international teacher and spirit junkie Erica Jung E-RYT with one to two daily intuitively lead yoga practices that focus on rinsing out the deeper layers and taking flight with our new and lighter selves. 


This trip of a lifetime satisfies all cravings for culture, adventure, great and diverse company with daily world class yoga, colliding to take your mind, body, and spirit to the highest of heights.


“AWESOME WONDERFUL DO IT! Yes they are well planned, comfortable, professional, fun and safe. Erica took the time to help a newcomer and one with lower back pain. Amaru (Gonzalo) was FANTASTIC! He allowed us to live like a local.”  Dara D



“Oh man… this trip was so absolutely amazing. To be given the chance to check off such an epic “bucket list” place is pretty damn awesome, but to experience it so deeply with Erica Jung and Udo Ramme was a gift of a lifetime. Peru and its magic had a wonderfully healing and profound affect on me.” -Kelly B

 


“Jump at any opportunity to travel with Erica and Trepta Tribe if they ever go back to Peru. The best part was the love and connection within our group and the beauty of the country. This was truly an opportunity to step away and gain some perspective. Also to reconnect with parts of me that have been scattered along the way.” – Amy R  



“Thank you, Erica, for really noticing and taking time out to meet the personal needs of each participant. Gonzalo was the best! I could not have imagined a better guide. We really lucked out getting such a knowledgable, spiritual, and genuine ambassador for Peruvian, Andean, Incan culture. The Amaru village experience, saving Machu Picchu for last – it was worth it!!” – Alexis B



'The Trepta Tribe is addictive'' Rachel D



'It was a trip of a lifetime: Peru is gorgeous, Udo organized a perfect trip and our guide was fabulous. Erica has endless energy and the group was so fun! - Paula Sequeiros 



'Loved everything from the beautiful majestic terrain of Peru, to the food, to the energy, to our wonderful guide, Amaru, and to spectacular sites!!'  - William Michalen Morgan

Itinerary

Day 1
Welcome To Cusco!

Welcome to Peru! 

You arrive at the airport of Cusco where you are welcomed and then taken to your hotel by private transfer (regular check-in time: 11:00am). Don't forget to grab a handful of complimentary Coca leaves right when you exit the plane to help with any altitude adjustment. It'll get you feeling like a local right away.


 
Cusco - The “Navel of the Earth” is another name for Cusco, since during the height of the Inca civilization nearly all pathways led to this capital of the empire. Today, almost every visitor to Peru eventually comes to this city located 11,150 feet above sea level (3,400 meters) and one of the best places to experience the remainders of different ages. You will not only find Incan walls and temples, but also colonial mansions and catholic churches. In combination with the flair of modern Cusco, it is one of the most fascinating cities in the country.


Unpack your bags and get settled in. We are located in the heart of Cusco so you merely have to walk out the door to start exploring this vibrant and rich city filled with food, shopping, and culture.


Make sure to fill up on delicious coca leaf tea to stave off any travel tiredness and help with altitude acclamation. 



For those arriving early, we have a delicious excursion to the Chocolate Museum located in the heart of historic Cusco. Together we learn about cacao and how it becomes the yummy chocolate we love to indulge in. Try your hand at making your own and give Godiva a run for it's money!



In the evening, you will walk to Incanto Restaurant to enjoy a welcome dinner where the whole group with gather for our first official meeting.

We are so excited to welcome you to amazing Peru!

A big THANK YOU to Erica and Udo for having provided, once again, a trip filled with wonders. This was my second pilgrimage in India and I came with the piece of mind that all logistics would be provided for and that I just needed to show up. Additionally, Erica’s knowledge of the culture and divine connection allowed for the trip to flow with ease and grace.

This trip can not be described. I should have paid triple what I paid for this experience. This trip was like having my hand held as I was walked through the Epic Ramayana and the footsteps of Lord Rama. It's been six months and it feels like I am still there, and I can't wait to go back. Erica brings together her own knowledge along with the loving guides who are truly subject matter experts. I think the best way to describe this trip is a spiritual transfusion of energy. The people attracted to this trip are instant family and such a source of support on a daily basis. If everyone were to go on this trip with Erica once in their life, there would be no serious conflict. I think the greatest gift of this trip is to see yourself. - James (Washington, D.C.)

It's taken me a year to sit down and write this review because honestly I'm still overwhelmed. To travel with Erica is to travel with the Divine -- There are no worries, no issues, and every moment is an experience wrapped in complete and total love. To travel with those companions called to these trips is to discover family you didn't know you had. For me this trip was so much more than an opportunity to observe mother nature in the raw of the deep African bush. It was an opportunity to connect with life in a way that I seek to emulate daily. Truly a blessing that I hope I have the opportunity to experience again with my children! - James T (Washington, DC)

Get ready for the most beautiful and loving assault on your senses. You will leave a changed person, for the better. You are in nurturing and capable hands with guides that are matter experts in the rich history of all the magical places you will visit. Don't miss the chance to go!

My deepest gratitude to Erica, Udo, and Sanjay for guiding our group through the off-beaten paths of India. It was a journey like no other where I was able to let go and enjoy the experience to its fullest knowing that all the details where taken care of. The itinerary, hotel and food choices, as well as ways of transportation were put together with much thoughts. Amazingly, there was always room to allow for the magic of the moment to shine through. Yoga was practiced as a whole in body, mind, spirit so as to plant the seed of Transformation. Thank you!!
