Mystical 15-Day Peruvian Odyssey

Your adventure with Peru Give Back Tours begins as you land in Cusco, greeted by Carlos with a ceremonial welcome from the Inca Queen and Inca King. Discover the mystical origins of these Incan founders as we escort you to Pisac,
a charming town in the Sacred Valley. Check into the luxurious Art House Hotel, just 40 minutes from the city. That evening, join us for a vibrant welcome dinner with a live Quechua band and dancers—whose communities we support through our give-back initiatives. Meet your spiritual guides, wisdom keepers, and the Peru Give Back Tours team who will guide you on this 15-day quest.

Rise to a breakfast of Sacred Valley fruits, quinoa, and energizing maca, sourced from local farmers we partner with through Peru Give Back Tours. Begin with a drum circle sound bath led by a master teacher, and a guided meditation. Next we visit a local school to be entertained by the children and give them gifts to give gifts to the children—a signature give-back opportunity. In the evening, surrender to a sampoña (pan flute) by a fire, as Carlos shares ancient Andean tales under the stars.

Each day starts with a drum circle sound bath and a hearty breakfast. Mornings offer mystical adventures: explore Pisac Archeological Site and market, Naupa Church (The site's geometry links it to Egypt, with some angles and ratios found in the great pyramids of Egypt. Naupa Iglesia also features bluestone, which contains a type of crystal that was used in early radio receivers, and is magnetic.) and Huchuy Qosqo. In the afternoon you have a choice of healing treatments: massage, acupuncture, or guided meditation before dinner. Nightly storytelling and music by local artisans around the fire deepen your connection to this land, with Peru Give Back Tours ensuring local artisans and wisdom keepers thrive through your participation.

After a final Pisac drum circle and breakfast, Peru Give Back Tours takes you to Ollantaytambo to board the glass-rooftop train to Machu Picchu. Marvel at the Andes as you arrive in Aguas Calientes. Check into your hotel, rest, and join Carlos for a dinner briefing on tomorrow’s highlight—the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. Feel the anticipation build as this mystical citadel beckons.

Awaken for breakfast, then ride a 15-minute bus to Machu Picchu’s gates.Your guide unveils its sacred secrets, guiding you through temples and terraces. Wander solo, meditate, or soak in the energy. Return to Aguas Calientes for a riverside buffet lunch, then explore the artisan markets.

After breakfast, Peru Give Back Tours whisks you by train to Santa Teresa, home of Cocalmayo’s revered hot springs. Soak in mineral-rich waters all day, with optional shamanic healings, cupunti rituals, drum circles, or meditations led by local healers. Enjoy a late lunch and early dinner in this natural haven, feeling renewed.

Travel with Peru Give Back Tours to Vilcabamba, the “Lost City of the Incas,” accessible by special permit. Enjoy a guided meditation in this sacred sanctuary before we head to Quillabamba. Settle into an eco-lodge with a pool, savor a Peruvian dinner, and finally a message, acupuncture, or guided meditation—experiences that support local practitioners.

Next, connect with an indigenous Amazonian community for lunch and stories, a cornerstone of our give-back mission. Journey to Ivochote, where a clean, simple lodge by the river awaits. Enjoy a dinner of roasted Peruvian cuisine with a Western twist, surrounded by jungle magic.

After a rice-based breakfast, embark on a boat ride through the Pongo de Mainique gorge with Peru Give Back Tours. Marvel at waterfalls and rock formations as your guide reveals its significance as the Amazon’s birthplace. Join a shamanic blessing ceremony for peace and love, followed by a traditional lunch. Return to Quillabamba, enriched by this sacred encounter.

Enjoy a leisurely morning swimming, reading, or indulging in a healing treatment. Then, return to Cusco, stopping at stunning viewpoints and mountain passes. Pause in Ollantaytambo for lunch before arriving at your colonial-style hotel in Cusco for a group dinner.

After breakfast, join a city tour of Cusco. Then wander on your own.
