PROGRAM SUMMARY

Day 01

Cacao Ceremony in Cusco

The experience begins with the reception of participants and a brief introduction to the meaning of ceremonial cacao, in an atmosphere of respect and tranquility. Each person receives an intention card and a pen to take a few moments to reflect on a simple question: what do you wish to honor, release, or strengthen at this moment of your journey? The cacao is then prepared and served, accompanied by guidance that invites you to be present and listen to your body. The ceremony continues with a guided meditation and sound healing session, allowing you to integrate your intention and leave with greater clarity and calm.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 01: Cusco + Cacao Ceremony + Intention Ritual + Guided Meditation + Sound Healing

  • Your experience begins with the reception in Cusco and the opening of the space. You will receive a brief introduction to the meaning of ceremonial cacao, in an atmosphere of respect, calm, and presence, designed to slow down the pace of your journey and enter the ceremony with awareness.
  • Next, you will experience the ritual of presence and intention. Each participant receives a card and a pen to write, in silence, what they wish to appreciate, release, or cultivate that day. This personal phrase accompanies the rest of the experience as an inner guide.
  • Then comes the central moment: the preparation and serving of ceremonial cacao. Through mindful guidance, you are invited to connect with your body, gratitude, and the present moment, beyond the drink itself.
  • The ceremony continues with a guided meditation. The goal is to quiet the mind, hold the written intention, and encourage a state of inner awareness, clarity, and emotional well-being.
  • To deepen the integration, a sound healing session takes place. The vibrations and soundscape surround the group, relax the nervous system, and help ground the experience with greater calm and openness.
  • Finally, the experience concludes with a brief integration moment before continuing your itinerary in Cusco or returning to your hotel. You leave with a meaningful pause within your journey: a clear intention, a calmer body, and a more conscious connection with yourself and the group.

Travel Rules and Recommendations

  • Follow the facilitator’s instructions at all times, especially during silence, meditation, and sound healing.
  • Arrive on time to avoid interrupting the opening of the space and the group’s rhythm.
  • Maintain a respectful environment: keep your voice low, silence your phone, and do not record or take photos unless authorized.
  • Take care of the cacao, intention cards, and ritual materials; they are part of the ceremony, not individual souvenirs.
  • Do not leave the group or the space once the ceremony has started, unless necessary or instructed by the facilitator.
  • In case of discomfort, dizziness, or any emergency, inform the facilitator or the Illa Kuntur Travel team immediately.

Machu Picchu's visit My trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! Everything was perfectly organized and exceeded my expectations. The views were simply breathtaking — seeing Machu Picchu in person is truly something unforgettable. Our guide Yeni was excellent: very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more special by sharing interesting information and giving us enough time to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. The timing of the whole tour was great and allowed us to fully appreciate the place and take in the incredible atmosphere. Overall, an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Peru. Thank you for making this trip so memorable!

Amazing Machu Picchu Experience My trip was last minute and unplanned, but Illa Kuntur Travel put everything together for me perfectly. They arranged hard-to-get tickets and delivered everything to me personally in Cuzco. The train ride was amazing and Machu Picchu was incredible. Especially because my tour guide Miguel was so helpful, knowledgeable, and his English was perfect.

Phenomenal experience at Machu Picchu The experience visiting Machu Picchu was phenomenal! Me and my fiancé did the full day tour and were amazed by how well we were accommodated and how much time we had to take in the place! The admission fee was very fair priced for the experience.

Excelente servicio! Sin duda no me equivoqué de elegir esta agencia, estuve una semana en Cusco con mi familia y me regreso feliz y con ganas de regresar. Son un equipo de personas profesionales en lo que hacen, puntuales, amables y sobre todo te ayudan en cualquier momento, siempre atentos. Si volvería a Cusco no dudaría en volver a contratarlos. Conozco a Ricardo hace 3 años, cuando envié a mi mamá y hermanas a conocer Cusco, una ciudad mágica y llena de historia, mi hermana tuvo dificultades en un tours (La Montaña de Colores), cayó de emergencia por el mal de altura, la llevaron a un hospital y Ricardo (trabajador de esta agencia de tours), jamás la abandonó, la acompañó, mostró empatía; para nosotros fue un gesto bonito que marcó totalmente nuestra perspectiva. En lo personal recomiendo mucho esta agencia a mis amigos y a todos en general si desean visitar Cusco y tener una experiencia inolvidable.

Discovery of Inca culture Since from our initial communication we received a positive attitude and professional approach from Ricardo through offering us concrete options to choose. Entire tour programme offered was well coordinated in terms of timing, attention and content despite our limited time for coordination. Even we succeeded to visit Machu Picchu as a unique experience. Quality of service and professionalism of Illa Kuntur as agency is highly recommended. Desde nuestra primera comunicación, Ricardo nos brindó una actitud positiva y un trato profesional, ofreciéndonos opciones concretas. El programa del tour estuvo perfectamente coordinado en cuanto a horarios, atención y contenido, a pesar de nuestro tiempo limitado. Incluso logramos visitar Machu Picchu, una experiencia única. Recomendamos ampliamente la calidad del servicio y la profesionalidad de Illa Kuntur como agencia.
