Global Family Travels proudly presents a 10-day regenerative journey to charming country of Peru.
We will deeply immerse ourselves in the ancient Andean traditions of the Sacred Valley through our travel through three pillars: Learn, Serve, and Immerse. In the heart of Peru, we will learn about the concept of Pachamama, known by the Incans as Mother Earth. She embodies the feminine soul of nature and is considered the source of all life. Throughout our journey, we uncover the profound connection between Pachamama and our responsibility to protect the Earth. Traditional ceremonies and practices will reveal the harmony between divine feminine energy and our role as stewards of the environment.
Learning themes and experiences unique to this journey include:
- Engage with and learn from our non-profit partner, Awamaki, who is working to empower rural women with skills-based education and vocational skills.
- Learn how our non-profit community partners preserve Andean cultural heritage, economic systems, and Indigenous traditions.
- Visit and learn about the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
- Participate in ancient Andean transformational healing traditions and rituals such as an herbal cleansing temazcal ceremony, a Sound Healing Ceremony with a “Curandero del Sonido” – a healer of sound, and a K’intu Coca Leaf Ceremony.
- Experience the sacred beauty and Inca history of Cusco and Ollantaytambo.
