This journey is to experience a culture that bridges ancient and modern history while witnessing truly sustainable living when you meet the people who have lived on the same land for thousands of years.
On this tour, we are re-learning what our ancestors knew about foods, spirituality and healing: the wrong foods and our belief systems can make us sick; and the right foods and mindset can promote amazing health. All traditional cultures use special foods, practices and plants in small amounts for medicine, to prevent disease, and for recharging their body energy.
While you're at each destination, you will be able to be a part of the real Peru that most tourists would never be allowed to access...
- Presentations by Peruvian experts in medicinal plants and superfoods.
- Visits to local herb markets.
- Participation in a Q'ero Indian shamanic healing ceremony and introduction to the Andean sustainablity principle, Ayni.
- Living & whole foods meals: ceviche, avocado, olives, papaya and pineapple juices, passion fruit, mangos, quinoa soups, and
Andean potatoes.
- Culinary Highlights: Peruvian and Chilean wines, ceviches, and healthy gourmet Peruvian organic cuisine. (Vegan options!)
- Peruvian superfoods where they were originally cultivated.
This journey is to meet the ancestors of the Incas and enjoy integrative dialogue around Earth-based philosophy and its implications for the future of the planet.
On the tour, you will be introduced to many unique foods from the mountainous and jungle regions of Peru. These specialized foods are called superfoods and they can make a dramatic difference in your health, and promote longevity.
Superfoods improve how your body works and make a positive difference on your genetic profile. They can prevent cancer, help your eyes, lower blood pressure, increase your energy, enhance your immune system, and help you live a longer more active life. What makes these true super foods different from nutritious whole foods is their high concentration of phytonutrients, health giving components found in plants that are neither vitamins nor minerals.
Peru is home to many popular superfoods that we normally see in powdered or encapsulated forms. To experience these foods vibrantly fresh and in their true form is truly a treasure to be savored and remembered for a lifetime.
This journey is to give you a sense of ancient shamanic healing combined with the food production and harvesting that was and is at the core of the Q'ero existence.
All this in an unforgettable setting that will deeply shift your world view.
