Detailed itinerary

At the Inca Uyo Archaeological Complex, also known as the Temple of Fertility, travelers will be welcomed with an introduction to its historical significance.
You can observe and learn about the 86 phallic stones, symbols of fertility, while a local guide shares Inca stories and myths.
Additionally, they will be encouraged to reflect and meditate in this sacred and peaceful setting, connecting with history and nature.

At the Aramu Muru Door, travelers are introduced to its mystical and historical significance. The journey begins with a walk uphill to view the forest of stones, followed by meditation amidst them. Participants then move to the front of the door for the fire ceremony, where an offering is made to Pachamama. The offering includes flowers, special items, and essence, symbolizing gratitude and respect for Mother Earth. The ceremony follows the traditional Andean practice of pago a la tierra, where offerings like coca leaves, seeds, and other symbolic items are given to ensure prosperity and harmony. The offering is placed into the fire, symbolically sending our desires.

Our spiritual guide uses plants, coca leaves, and sacred rituals to help connect participants with Pachamama, honoring the Andean tradition of reciprocity, where offerings to the earth bring blessings in return. Through these rituals, a special bond with the sacred place is created.
