There is a reason you are reading this. A few years ago, we traveled to Peru and visited the iconic site of Machu Picchu. We expected it to be amazing but were not fully prepared for the overwhelming sense of awe and spiritual connection we experienced. We realized we had only scratched the surface of all the treasures in the magnificent Andes, and the beautiful people that embody one of the most spiritually rich cultures in the world. We vowed to return someday.

In the Spring of 2022, we partnered with a Peruvian guide, Washington (Washi) Gibaja, who is a community leader and a native of Ollantaytambo, one of the many Inca archeological sites that contribute to the richness of the Sacred Valley

Washi has been a professional guide for his entire life, a photographer, and a board member of the non-profit, Path of the Heart providing food, clothing, education, and necessities to indigent children and families in the sacred valley region and surrounding communities. In a beautiful full circle, Washi was helped by the organization as a child and now serves on its leadership team.

Our past Spring adventure with Washi and his team was so successful and enriching that we were already dreaming and planning our return to Peru with him before we boarded the plane home! We can't wait to share this experience with a new group of open-minded travelers. So that is why you are here, reading this now.

We call this a Foodie Spiritual Adventure Tour, however, we are not going to evangelize in any way. Everyone, of any faith or belief, is welcome. Our intention is to travel with open minds, learn about the rich and ancient culture of the people of the Sacred Valley, and connect with them as fellow humans. Who knows, maybe we'll find ways to enhance our own Spiritual growth too?

Tour highlights:

  • An active adventure with lots of walking/hiking. Options will be available for less-able persons (horseback, shuttle, etc.) but a good state of health is important. We'll spend much of our time at higher altitudes. (Cusco is at 11,000 ft. and Machu Picchu at 8000 ft.)
  • Led by professional Peruvian guides, Medicine Masters, and your hosts, Kevin & Clare Kubota.
  • Gastronomical delights! Lima is a foodie's bucket list spot and has been named the #1 Culinary Destination in the world, for 5 years running.
  • Visits to non-touristy villages, shamans, and families where we can learn about the culture first-hand.
  • One night of camping in the Sacred Valley (all gear provided).
  • VOLUNTOURISM and options to donate supplies and gifts if desired.
  • Meditation and Sacred ceremonies (Medicine plant use is not part of our tour)
  • Visits to Lima, Cusco, Black Lake, Moray, Ollantaytambo, Aguas Calientes, and of course, Machu Picchu.
