Sacred Ancestral
In the high Andes of Peru, traditional Andean fire
ceremonies hold profound spiritual significance for
the people, acting as a sacred connection between
the physical and spiritual realms. These rituals, led
by Andean shamans known as paqos, are performed
to honor Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus
(mountain spirits) that guard the land. Fire is seen
as a transformative force, capable of purifying the
mind & spirit while carrying prayers to the divine.
Participants gather to offer coca leaves, flowers,
and other natural elements to the fire, symbolizing
gratitude, blessings, and intentions for harmony.
R.uals
TrekWild maintains longstanding relationships with a select
group of exclusive ritual specialists from remote villages in the

they9ve performed in their own communities for centuries.
During our fully inclusive retreat programs, you9ll experience
a traditional Andean despacho (prayer offering), created by
an authentic Q9ero to honor the Andean Mountain deities or
apukuna, followed by a traditional Fire Ceremony.
