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.

Health Recommendations

  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatment, consult your doctor beforehand and inform us at the time of booking.
  • Wear comfortable clothing and a warm layer for the meditation and sound healing session; the temperature of the space may feel cooler while resting.
  • Bring any necessary personal medication (regular treatments and, if applicable, a medical prescription).
  • It is recommended not to arrive with a very full stomach or after consuming alcohol before the ceremony.

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.

Amazing! We had the most incredible experience on a Machu Picchu tour with our guide, Yeni, and I cannot recommend it enough. Yeni was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of Machu Picchu but also incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire journey. Her passion for the site was evident in every detail she shared, making the experience both educational and inspiring. The tour was excellently organized, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable day despite its length. We were picked up promptly and comfortably, and all transportation was seamlessly arranged, allowing us to focus on soaking in the breathtaking views and rich history. The weather was perfect, adding to the overall enchantment of the day. If you’re planning a trip to Machu Picchu, I highly recommend booking a tour with Yeni. Her expertise and warm personality will make your visit unforgettable, and you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for this iconic destination.

Adventure in Machupichu with my family My experience with the Illa Kuntur Travel agency was fantastic, from my arrival in the town of Aguas Calientes to my tour of Machu Picchu. The panoramic train ride was also amazing.

Conociendo la majestuosidad de Machupichu Yeni, nuestra guía en el recorrido del Majestuoso Machupichu, fue una persona muy amable, atenta y cercana. Nos ayudó a comprender cada detalle de la experiencia y supo transmitirnos sus conocimientos sobre nuestros antepasados incas de una manera clara, amena y llena de sensibilidad. Fue un verdadero placer contar con su acompañamiento. Nos regresamos con el corazón lleno y con muchas ganas de volver, siempre recordaremos con cariño esta hermosa experiencia y todo lo que aprendimos y sentimos durante el recorrido. Estamos profundamente agradecidos contigo, Yeni, por compartir con pasión tus conocimientos y agradecidos a la Pachamama por permitirnos vivir un momento tan especial y significativo. Será un hasta pronto….🫶🏻🌟💕🫶🏻
