Travelers of the Light:
an Illuminating Journey along the Sacred Energetic Lines of Peru
October 13-27, 2007

Are you ready for an amazing spiritual adventure? More than just a tour of the sacred Inca sites of ancient Peru this expedition is an inner journey and spiritual quest. Led by a native, master shaman, don Victor Estrada, our small, intimate group (30 people or less) is guided through the mysteries, traditions and healing ceremonies of Andean shamanism and indigenous culture. The Travelers of the Light program will take us on path of spiritual initiation along the energetic lines of the Andes. During this incredible opportunity to study and time-travel through Incan and pre-Incan civilizations with our shaman guide and instructor, we visit dozens of power spots, energy vortexes, native markets, and ancient ruins, including the “Lost City” of Machu Picchu; the enigmatic Nazca Lines—the largest sacred geometry site in the world; the Incan megaliths of the 60,000 acre temple and fortress complex of Ollantaytambo; and the “Galapagos” of Peru—the Bellestas Islands.

We also experience traditional plant medicine first-hand in the ancient Wachuma Ceremony along with other healing, cleansing and purification rituals including the healing waters of Calera and the Tesmascal ceremony—an Andean sweat lodge. Join us for this authentic and amazing adventure traveling the illuminating path of native Andean healers.
