¿What is a Spiritual Journeys?
If you are seeking a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Inca, the Andean Shamanic Traditions, or your own relationship with life, WELSAT can be of service to you. Life-changing experiences await you as you learn to connect with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and offer thanks in traditional ceremonies. Explore sacred sites while gaining a deeper understanding of the cosmos through our expert guides and interpreters. Take the next step on your own personal healing journey through personal healing sessions with the shamans of Peru, or learn about reciprocity, or ayniy, through opportunities to give something back to the people of Peru.
