the calling

You’ve been to India. Done retreats. Learned to sit in silence, breathe slowly, choose what enters your plate and your day.

And even with all that — with this whole journey other people admire from afar — something won’t budge. A restlessness that survives every retreat. A question the masters answer eloquently but that comes back, night after night, like the whisper of a mountain.

“I did everything right.
Why do I still feel something’s missing that I can’t name?”

What’s missing isn’t another technique. Not another teacher. Not more silence.

What’s missing is root. A tradition that wasn’t invented for you — but that’s existed for millennia, waiting for someone like you to finally arrive.

the journey

Not a retreat.
It’s a rite of passage.

For eleven days, you walk through the sacred heart of the Andes — not as a visitor, but as a pilgrim. Each step carries the memory of millennia. Each ritual, guided by masters who are living guardians — not schoolteachers, but heirs to a tradition that never stopped.

You won’t “learn about” Incan spirituality. You’ll breathe inside it. You’ll feel the stones of Machu Picchu at dawn when there’s still mist and the sun begins to shape the mountain horizon. You’ll be in Maestro Fernando’s circle when he reads what’s held in your energy field without asking anything — just looking.

Some experiences expand what you know. This one changes who you are.

I want to live this journey

“From here on, everything you experience
is between you, the Andes, and your heart.”

— Giuliano Salas, opening of the Journey Talk to Giuliano

the arrival

The cold wind descends from the sacred mountains to greet you.
Giuliano is there to embrace you.

The moment you walk out of Cusco airport, you feel it — the air is different. Thinner, more alive, charged with something that has no name. It’s the altitude, of course. But it’s something else too.

And there, before any explanation, is Giuliano. Not a driver, not an assistant with a sign. Him — with a real embrace, eye to eye, the smile of someone genuinely glad you came.

This is the first teaching: here, you’re not a customer. You’re a pilgrim.

what you will feel

Moments that don’t fit
in any travel album.

01

Your first deep breath at the Cusco window

You arrive at the hotel, close the door, open the window. Below, the stone city breathes. You breathe with it. It’s the first silent invitation to presence — and you feel something beginning that you don’t yet have words for.

02

Maestro Fernando’s gaze — reading without asking

In the Temple of the Moon, he works individually with each pilgrim. There’s the smell of burned herbs. The gentle touch of leaves. But what you never forget is the gaze — like someone who saw what you’ve been carrying for years and simply said: “You can let go now.”

03

Pisac at dawn — you, your fears, and the sacred abyss

You climb in silence to Intihuatana. Up there, at the edge of the cliff. Giuliano invites: surrender to the void what you no longer want to carry. Below, the Urubamba river. Above, the condor hovers. You realize you’ve truly arrived at the edge of something.

04

Pongobamba — the day the Andean community received you as family

The women weave beside you. A child looks with the honest curiosity of someone not yet taught to pretend. An old woman smiles without needing translation. You understand, that day, what it means to belong to something larger than yourself.

05

Equinox at Apu Veronica — fire, community, and millennia of tradition

The sacred mountain before dawn. Open fire. The Coya Raymi — the Inca equinox festival dedicated to the Moon and feminine energy. Beside you, people who also answered the call. A ritual the Incas performed for centuries — and that you now complete, not as a spectator, but as part of the chain.

06

Machu Picchu before sunrise — just you and the silence of the sacred city

Departure at 4:30am. Climb in silence. The city emerges from mist as the first ray of sun touches Intihuatana. Giuliano leads meditation at esoteric points no conventional tour ever reaches. You understand why you traveled here.

pongobamba · living community

You will sit at the real table of the Andes.

Not at a themed resort. In a living community where the stories were never written — only lived, generation after generation.

the cacao ceremony

Three Andean musicians live.
The cacao opens what words cannot.

On the ninth night, in Samana Wasi, something happens that’s hard to describe without sounding exaggerated — and those who’ve lived it know exactly what it is.

The ceremonial cacao is served with intention. Medicine music begins. Your heart, worked on for days by the stones, rituals, and masters, finally opens in a way you didn’t expect.

The entire journey stitches itself into one image. You understand, finally, why you came.

itinerary

Eleven days.
A different life.

17 Sep

Arrival — the embrace that says “you really made it”

Giuliano waits at Cusco airport. The cold wind descends from the Apus to greet the pilgrims. Transfer to the hotel, time for a bath, rest, and acclimatization. Welcome dinner at a pizzeria closed just for the group — wood-fired oven, Spanish antique décor, secret-club atmosphere. Each pilgrim receives the Andean welcome kit with woven cloth, chakana, Florida water, and a personalized letter.

18 Sep

Temple of the Moon — purification and the first great ritual

Individual ritual with Maestro Fernando — energy cleansing with the 4 elements. Each participant writes a letter with their deepest fear and draws their own body on paper, locating the trauma. Walk along the sacred Qhapaq Ñan to Sacsayhuamán. Lunch at Green Point — high-end vegan cuisine in the heart of San Blas.

19 Sep

Pisac at dawn — the condor and the abyss

Climb to the Intihuatana before sunrise. Condor ritual at the edge of the precipice. Silent meditation with the entire Valley below. Lunch at the finest restaurant in Pisac. Integration circle: the first great emotional openings as a group. Journey to the Sacred Valley, arrival at Samana Wasi.

20 Sep

Pongobamba — immersion in a living Andean community

Full day in the community. You weave beside the women, share stories, feel their relationship with Pachamama. In the evening, Andean table at Maestro Fernando’s house — presence of Apus and Pachamamas. The pilgrims can ask the spirits directly. Andean spirituality is living dialogue, not a museum.

21 Sep

Machu Picchu — receiving the first rays of sun over the sacred city

Departure at 4:30 AM. Silent climb up the stairs. The sun rises over the stones — you are there. Guided meditation by Giuliano at esoteric points the conventional tour never reaches. Lunch with a view of the Urubamba River and the mountains. Return to the Sacred Valley at the end of the day.

22 Sep

Equinox at Apu Veronica — the fire that marks the turning point

Equinox ritual on the sacred mountain of the Andes — the Coya Raymi, the ancient Inca equinox festival dedicated to the Moon and feminine energy. Open fire. The group united. What the Incas did for centuries — you now complete. At the end of the day, descent to the Sacred Valley and arrival at Samana Wasi for the integration days.

23–25 Sep

Samana Wasi — deep integration, cacao, and the sacred feminine

Guided meditations. One-hour massage with a Cusco artisan. Sacred feminine and masculine practices in separate spaces. Giuliano’s talk: synthesis of the Inca worldview applied to life today. Cacao ritual with three live Andean musicians. Temple of Pisac and offering rituals. Tipón — sacred Inca water complex. Palace of Topa Yupanqui — purpose work and life co-creation.

26 Sep

Closing ritual — the fire that seals the cycle

You open the paper from the first day — the drawing of your body with the point of trauma. Now you draw the chakana around it and a healing symbol over the point. Surrender it to the fire. The cycle closes in the same place it began. Embraces, tears, laughter. Blessing for your return. Transfer to the airport — you leave transformed.

frequently asked questions

What you need to know before answering the call

Is the journey safe for women traveling alone? +

Yes. Many women travel alone on this journey. Giuliano and the Andean community prioritize your safety and comfort. You’ll be with a group of pilgrims, and Giuliano’s experience ensures a protected space for transformation.

How do I prepare for altitude sickness in Cusco? +

Cusco is at 11,000 feet. We provide coca tea, altitude supplements, and gradual acclimatization. Rest on Day 1, stay hydrated, and listen to your body. Most participants adapt within 24-48 hours. If you have health concerns, consult your doctor before traveling.

Do I need previous spiritual experience to participate? +

No. This journey is designed for seekers at all levels. You don’t need prior experience with ceremonies, meditation, or spiritual practice. What matters is your willingness to show up authentically and let the experience unfold.

What justifies the USD 3,400 investment? +

The investment includes 10 days of expert guidance from Giuliano Salas, all accommodations in authentic Andean communities, all meals, ceremonies with live musicians, train tickets to Machu Picchu, and an experience designed to create lasting transformation. This is not a tourist package — it is a rite of passage.

What is the difference between this journey and a spiritual retreat? +

Most retreats happen in isolated centers disconnected from real life. This journey happens IN the Andes, IN Andean communities, with people who have lived there for generations. You don’t learn about Andean wisdom from a facilitator — you experience it directly from the land and its people.

Does the journey include ayahuasca ceremonies? +

No. This journey uses traditional Andean ceremonies — cacao, sage, and ritual at sacred sites. Giuliano believes that the mountain itself, the community, and authentic ritual are sufficient for deep transformation.

Who is Giuliano Salas? +

Giuliano is a guide with over 15 years of experience leading seekers through Andean ceremonies. He was trained by traditional Andean masters and holds deep respect for the sacred traditions of Peru. His approach blends ancient wisdom with modern consciousness — meeting people where they are.

for those who feel the call

Some people arrive here by coincidence.
Others because something brought them.

Giuliano is always open to speaking with those who feel this call — not to convince anyone, but because some things can only be understood in a brief conversation, eye to eye.

The final filter of who composes each group, however, is not human.
It is the spiritual mentors and Andean angels who determine
who is ready to cross that portal.
