Introduction with Juan and Ivan Núñez del Prado, in which they convey background and basic knowledge about this spiritual journey as well as the initiations that will begin the next day.

You will also get to know the other group members and find out with whom you share the room with during the trip.

Day 2 | July 19

This special journey starts with a beautiful ceremony, in which you open yourself to the power of the female spirit of Cusco and connect with the seven levels of the Andean path.

You then travel with the group to an old Inca city to perform powerful water rituals. Later you will connect this place with the power place of Señor de Huanca.

Day 3 | July 20

Travel to the Sacred Valley of Cusco, the original land of the Incas.

This day takes you and the group to an old place related to healing. Here you get the healing powers of the Lord of Healing.

From there, you'll continue to Pisaq, where you make strong connections with the seven levels of the Inca's spiritual tradition through water.

Day 4 | July 21

Today you will go through a series of ceremonies - rituals with the female center associated with the power of well-being.

Then a ritual follows with the power of joy and partnership; with the anaconda, the symbol of personal power, the creative power of nature and the powers of the underworld.

In the temple of Sayri Tupac you will finally connect with the power of the feminine.

Day 5 | July 22

Today you will experience various ceremonies in one of the few Inca cities that have been inhabited throughout the past 500 years.

At the spring of mother water, at the spring of Tawantin (the symbol of perfection), at the spring of Yanantin (harmonious relationship of two different factors) and at the spring of the condor.

Allow yourself to perceive the continuity of the Inca tradition.

Day 6 | July 23

With the help of Mother Earth you will connect with your eight helpers and with the seven levels of the Andean path. You will also build a connection to a female mountain spirit and the guardian of knowledge with the help of the Willka energy.

Back in Cusco, we will associate ourselves with the image of a child that today is considered a symbol of the power of Cusco.

Day 7 | July 24

In the ruins of an ancient Inca palace and temple, which now houses an important church, you will release a lot of heavy energy through your connections to the stone of Wiraqocha, the Virgin Mary, the Black Christ and many other energies.

Then follows an initiation into the power of the sacred city of Cusco through the connection with the seven energy centers of the puma.

Day 8 | July 25

Today we will visit Machu Picchu, the famous ruins above the city of Aguas Calientes.

Day 9 | July 26

On the way to Lake Titicaca, the group will stop at one of South America's largest and most important Inca temples.

Arrival

The Hatun Karpay left side starts in Cusco on July 18, 2020 at 5pm in Cusco (name and address will be announced in time).

Airport pick-up

All participants organize their journey from the airport in Cusco to the city center themselves.

There are a variety of taxis at the airport, and drivers can always identify themselves with an official ID. The trip to the city center costs foreigners between $ 15 and $ 30, depending on language ability and negotiating skills.

Many hotels offer to have their guests picked up, which is usually cheaper than calling a taxi at the airport. 

Stay in Cusco

Due to the altitude, we strongly recommend that you plan for 2-3 additional days in advance. You will need this time to adapt to the altitude and these unfamiliar conditions. 

If you need accommodation in Cusco, we recommend the booking platform https://booking.com as it lists almost all hotels in the city and you can quickly find a suitable hotel based on the pictures and the current price.

Maybe you would like to arrive at the group hotel a few days before the start of your trip and spend some quiet days there. You can also book this via https://booking.com 

Departure

The event ends on July 28, 2020 in Puno (close to Lake Titicaca). After finishing the program in the morning a bus will take you to the airport in Juliaca (JUL), arrival time is around 11am. 

Flights

The Hatun Karpay will take place if at least 6 persons have registered until May 19. Therefore, please book flights and other services only after you have received written confirmation from us that this trip wll actually take place.

On all flights to Cusco with a stopover in Lima, suitcases must be picked up in Lima, as the customs control takes place there (as of Sept. 2017). Then the suitcases for the onward flight to Cusco need to be checked in again at the counter of the respective airline.

Therefore, consider in Lima a stopover time of at least 3 hours if you fly to Lima on a European / US airline and travel on the same day from there with a local airline to Cusco.

For domestic flights we recommend the airlines LATAM, LC Peru, Avianca, Peruvian and Viva Air. We definitely do not recommend Star Peru as their fleet is outdated and often can not take off or land in fog or bad weather. As a result, you'll run the risk of arriving late at your destination.

Food

Peru has a very good and very varied cuisine. A vegetarian diet is easily possible there, vegan food, however, is unknown in many places. In Cusco itself, for example, there are only one or two vegan restaurants, in most hotels and especially outside the city none, so we can not guarantee vegan food on this trip.

We recommend that participants with food intolerances (gluten, cow's milk, sugar, fruits or vegetables, etc.) bring along essential staples - we will try to deal with each and every one of them with the service staff, but unfortunately we can not guarantee this in advance.

Hotels

Juan's and Ivan's goal is to book beautiful 3 star hotels (or better) for the entire trip.

If you would like a single room for the duration of the trip, you can add it during the registration process. The surcharge is 950 EUR.

Passport/Visa/Vaccination

You will find general travel information, safety instructions, entry requirements, medical information in Peru and more on the website of the website of your county's Foreign Office. Germany's administration for example states, that passports must be valid for at least 6 months when entering Peru.

When traveling to the designated yellow fever endemic areas of Peru, in particular for the entire Peruvian Amazon, all travelers need to be vaccinated. Coming from Peru, vaccination may be required if you travel to a third country (information: as of January 2017).

Please note that you will NOT visit the Amazon areas during this trip.

Insurances

Since life is not always predictable, we strongly recommend that you take out a travel cancellation insurance. In many cases this insurance will pay for cancellation fees and therefore save you from financial consequences in case you have to cancel the trip. In addition, a health insurance is certainly necessary, an accident insurance makes sense (but is not mandatory). 

Further information

Two to three months before the start of the journey, we will send you detailed information, including a list of all hotels, a packing list including recommendations, and detailed information on weather/ climate, clothing, cash/ currency, Internet/ WIFI, adapters/ power and more.

Cancellation fees

All of Inka World's events are associated with significant financial obligations, such as booking and transaction fees, marketing and travel expenses, car, bus or hotel rentals. Since groups are not large and we use a considerable time on counseling and answering questions, Inka World will charge cancellation fees in the event that you cancel your participation before the start of the event.

These cancellation fees are based on the time of your cancellation and are staggered as follows:

• Up to 91 days before the start of the event: 25% of the travel proce
• 90 to 45 days prior to the start of the event: 50% of the travel price
• 44 to 15 days prior to the start of the event: 75% of the travel price
• 14 days or less prior to the start of the event: 90% of the travel price

In case you can not attend the event, you are free to organize a substitute. As soon as this replacement person paid the participation fee in full, you will receive a reimbursement minus a processing fee of 50,- EUR. We will not reimburse bank charges for refunding the participation fee.
