STAR PATH ODYSSEY

Welcome to Peru! Upon arrival in Lima, you’ll be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel. Take the day to rest, adjust to the energy of the land, or stroll along the coast beneath the ever-present mist of the Pacific. In the evening, we’ll gather for a brief orientation to open the circle and set intentions for the days ahead.

Overnight at in Miraflores.

Travel south along the desert coast to Paracas. Board a boat to the Ballestas Islands, where sea lions lounge among ancient stone formations and the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph towers above the bay—visible only from the sea or sky. Then visit the Julio C. Tello Museum, showcasing the elongated skulls and enigmatic textiles of the Paracas culture. Later in the day, we explore the Ica Museum, home of the controversial Ica Stones—objects said to depict knowledge far beyond their time.

Overnight in Nasca.

Head into the heart of the desert to witness the Nazca Lines, geoglyphs only visible from above—hummingbirds, monkeys, and other forms that stretch for hundreds of meters. Their origin and purpose remain unknown. Could they be star maps, spiritual messages, or signals to something not of this world? Afterward, return to Lima and take an evening flight to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Andes.

Overnight in Cusco

Begin the day on horseback, riding through highland trails to Sacsayhuaman, a megalithic marvel whose massive stones are fit together with impossible precision. Continue to the Temple of the Moon, an ancient site carved into natural rock, echoing with lunar energy. In the afternoon, journey to Naupa Iglesia, a portal carved in stone where initiation rites were once held—or still are. Here, participate in a Pago a la Tierra ceremony with an Andean priest, before traveling to Aguas Calientes, gateway to Machu Picchu.

Overnight in Machu Picchu Town

Ascend to Machu Picchu, the enigmatic Inca city believed by many to be an energetic and astronomical observatory. Walk its stone paths with reverence, ending at the Temple of the Moon, hidden on the mountainside, where ancient initiates are said to have communed with both the Earth and stars. Reflection time is built in for quiet connection with the site.

Overnight in Cusco.

Travel by land from Cusco to Puno along the spine of the Andes. Stop at Andahuaylillas Church, known as the Sistine Chapel of the Andes, where indigenous and Catholic symbolism blend mysteriously. Visit the Huaro Museum, home to rare elongated skulls and sacred relics. Then explore Raqchi, dedicated to the creator god Viracocha, and finally the Museo Litico de Pucará, filled with haunting monoliths of a forgotten era.

Overnight in Puno.

Today is a journey into the spiritual heart of the altiplano. Begin at the Temple of Fertility in Chucuito—its phallic stones a reminder of cosmic cycles and earthly rebirth. Descend the Quenuani Inca Steps, a little-known stairway leading into the waters of Lake Titicaca, long associated with lost civilizations beneath the lake. As the sun sets, arrive at Aramu Muru, the enigmatic rock-carved portal believed to be a stargate. Participate in a powerful sunset ceremony to honor the ancestors and stars, then remain at the site for guided stargazing. In the stillness of the Andean night, the Milky Way stretches across the heavens—and perhaps, for those attuned, the veil thins between worlds.

Overnight in Puno.

Conclude the journey with visits to the Uros Floating Islands, where the people live in harmony with the lake, claiming descent from star ancestors. Then visit Sillustani, an ancient necropolis of towering chullpas, some older than the Incas, aligned to solstices and cosmic forces. This is a site of profound silence, where memory, stone, and sky merge. After the visit, return to Puno for a final evening together beside Lake Titicaca.

Overnight in Puno.

Transfer to the Juliaca airport for your flight to Lima and then home. As you leave the sacred altiplano, may the energies you’ve touched remain within you—whispers from the past, invitations from the stars, and awakenings that echo far beyond this timeline.
