Tour Description

Peru Cultural Journeys offers you something more than a tourist journey. Guided by local natives for the first time you will be able to approach the Andean world through a native perspective, in a very personal, intimate relationship to the land, the people and their customs.

We will explore:

• the scientific religious function of temples
• textile iconography
• astronomical agrarian calendars
• balanced relationship between man and nature
• role of male female equilibrium
• Incan mathematics, iconography, astronomy and geodesy
• the experience of sharing the collective work, faena, with ancestral communities
• traditional music and dance and their significance
• and all that spontaneously occurs ...

All of this is woven in an itinerary of visits to archeological sites surrounded by fantastic geography, full of mythology and history revealed each day by our guide with the enthusiasm of one who shares his life passion: his culture and tradition.

Andean culture is a unitarian culture. For the Quechua, everything is related and bound: Art, Science, Religion, Social organization, Daily life. It is important that the visitor feels this unity which is why our tour is integral. We weave the itinerary, accommodations and food in keeping with this approach.
