Our seven day trekking pilgrimage to Machu Picchu involves five days of hiking through the mountains for extended periods (4-8 hours a day). We recommend that you condition your body properly prior to coming. The trek can be very strenuous causing knee pain and other physical discomforts if your body is not trained properly.

To prepare, endeavor to go on weekly hikes at least six weeks prior to our trip, where you work your way up to hike for 5-6 hours. Find the local mountains near where you live to train your body and practice trekking. Also, endeavor to have a regular gym routine, where you work-out and build muscle on your legs on a consistent basis. This is very important for you to have an enjoyable time. For participants who would like less trekking, we are offering the option to join our group for only five days, which will only have 4 actual days of trekking. This option can reduce the strenuousness of hiking.

In case you don't know, food in Peru is a delicacy! Our chefs ares professionals, who will be cooking all vegetarian meals. On one or two occasions, we may visit a restaurant where meat will be available. Our chefs can accommodate dietary preferences. Please let us know in advance what you would need.

At the beginning of the trek, we will be camping near glaciers where temperatures at night can get very cold. You will need to bring proper layers to stay warm. Our route also takes us to tropical areas where the temperature is very mild. When you sign up, more details will be provided on what to wear and how to prepare.

This pilgrimage is for spiritually minded people, who are physically conditioned to trek. It is for seekers, who want to visit Machu Picchu and at the same time want to learn about shamanic practices. An active interest in wanting to participate in ceremonies while we trek is crucial.

Once you sign up, you will receive emails and join our Whats App group where all sorts of details on how to prepare and what to bring will be answered.
