5 days San Pedro Retreat in Ausangate

Retreat Itinerary

A Journey Through the Sacred Andes

Our 5-day retreat at Ausangate is designed to harmonize body, mind, and spirit while immersing you in the sacred energy of this revered mountain. Each day brings a balance of ceremony, connection, and exploration, ensuring a transformative experience.

We depart early from Pisac and travel to the breathtaking Ausangate region. Upon arrival, you’ll settle in and acclimatize to the altitude, with time to relax and connect with the serene environment. In the evening, we’ll gather for a group introduction and intention-setting session to prepare for the journey ahead.

Begin the day with a gentle hike through the stunning Andean landscapes. Along the way, participate in a Huachuma ceremony, allowing the sacred medicine to deepen your connection with the natural world. Afterward, unwind in natural thermal baths, letting the warm waters soothe your body and spirit.

This day is dedicated to discovering hidden gems of the Ausangate region. Away from typical tourist routes, you’ll explore untouched trails and immerse yourself in the profound beauty of the Andes. The day will offer moments of awe and quiet reflection.

Another transformative Huachuma ceremony awaits, followed by a powerful sacred fire ritual under the stars. This ceremony is a time for release, renewal, and gratitude, marking a peak moment of the retreat.

On the final day, we focus on integrating the experiences and insights gained during the retreat. Through guided meditation and sharing circles, you’ll prepare to carry these lessons into your daily life. We then make our way back to Pisac, completing this unforgettable journey.
