A Pachamama offering tours

One day from Cusco: sit for a Pachamama offering with a local family — small, specific, and not staged for a crowd. This is not a performance. We arrive when they are ready, and we leave when the work is finished. The road back to the city is part of the day.

Day 1: Cusco – the offering – Cusco

Leave Cusco when the family is ready for us. Sit for the offering — coca, earth, and the work they already do — then the road back to the city. We will not rush the hour or invent a show for a photograph.
