Join Gaia on a guided spiritual journey through Peru’s most important sacred sites, including Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, and Aramu Muru. This experience brings you into direct contact with ancient wisdom and sacred places that have guided seekers for generations.
Travel through the Andes in South America, exploring locations shaped by the legacy of the ancient Inca. These sites reflect a deep connection to the land, seen in the precise stonework and the layout of agricultural terraces across Peru’s Sacred Valley.
For four days, spend time with Matías De Stefano as he guides part of the sacred journey. You’ll follow an initiatic path designed to activate your Yo Soy/I AM presence while connecting with the energy of the Lake Titicaca basin, a region long associated with awakening.
Each stop invites you to slow down and engage with Mother Earth and Inca culture. As you move through these sacred spaces with intention, you build a stronger sense of awareness and well-being.
These sacred sites have supported awakening across civilizations far beyond recorded time. Step into that same path as you explore some of the most meaningful sacred sites in Peru.
Arrival in Lima marks the beginning of the optional pre-trip journey through the ancient coastal regions of Peru.
In the evening, we gather for a special welcome reception and dinner, creating space to connect, share intentions, and prepare for the adventures ahead.
Departing early by bus, we journey into Peru’s coastal desert to visit the Nazca mummies, preserved remains that offer insight into ancient burial practices and the Nazca culture. In La Huacachina, a surreal oasis surrounded by towering sand dunes, we witness a striking desert landscape unlike any other. We continue onward to the seaside town of Paracas for the evening.
A morning boat excursion takes us to the Ballestas Islands, home to sea lions, penguins, and seabirds. We then visit sites connected to the Paracas culture, known for their elongated skulls, which continue to intrigue researchers. The stark beauty of the Paracas National Reserve completes this day of coastal exploration.
From the air, we witness the immense Nazca Lines: animals, birds, geometric shapes, and the enigmatic “Astronaut” figure carved into the earth centuries ago. Their scale and precision continue to spark mystery and debate. After this unforgettable aerial experience, we return to Lima for our final night.
Welcome to Peru. Upon arrival in Lima, you’ll be transferred to our hotel in the vibrant Miraflores district. This evening, we gather for a Welcome Reception and Dinner — a moment to connect, set intentions, and prepare for the powerful experiences ahead. Surrounded by ocean views and the energy of this historic capital, we begin weaving the threads of our shared journey.
This morning is dedicated to special Gaia content and meaningful connection exercises designed to deepen our group field. In the afternoon, we explore Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Incan ceremonial center built by the Lima culture around 500 AD. Walking among its towering adobe walls, we witness the fusion of ancient and modern—a sacred site preserved in the center of a bustling city. It’s our first direct encounter with Peru’s ancient wisdom traditions
Today we journey by air to Cusco and transfer directly into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Along the way, we visit Chinchero, a traditional Andean village known for its vibrant weaving culture and powerful archaeological remains. After time to rest and acclimate in Urubamba, we gather in ceremony around sacred fire—releasing, calling in, and aligning with the Apus, the mountain spirits who guard this land.
Ollantaytambo stands as one of the most impressive and mysterious sites in the Sacred Valley. Its enormous stone blocks, perfectly fitted and transported from distant quarries, continue to challenge conventional explanation. As we walk its terraces and ceremonial platforms, we contemplate the advanced knowledge of the Inca civilization and the spiritual significance of this ancient stronghold.
Our day begins at Sacsayhuamán, the remarkable Incan archaeological site overlooking Cusco. Famous for its enormous stonework and ceremonial importance, this sacred place offers panoramic views and a deep connection to Andean history. We then continue to Illapata, where the peaceful landscapes invite reflection and connection to the traditions of the Andes.
Later, we explore the vibrant city of Cusco, a beautiful blend of Incan heritage and colonial architecture. As we walk its historic streets and plazas, we experience the cultural spirit that makes Cusco one of the most captivating destinations in Peru. After a full day of exploration, we return to Taypikala Valle Sagrado for rest and integration.
Today, we travel by train through the breathtaking landscapes of the Urubamba Valley to Aguas Calientes, enjoying a private reserved area for a comfortable and immersive journey into the Andes. As the mountains rise around us and the river winds through the valley, we approach one of the most sacred destinations in the world.
Upon arrival, we visit Machu Picchu, the iconic Incan citadel hidden high among emerald peaks. As we explore its temples, terraces, and ceremonial spaces, we experience the mystery, beauty, and spiritual energy that have made this ancient site one of the world’s greatest wonders. Following our visit, we settle into our accommodations at the base of Machu Picchu for an evening of rest and reflection.
Before dawn, we return to Machu Picchu for a special sunrise ceremony as the first light illuminates the ancient stone city and surrounding mountain peaks. This peaceful early-morning experience offers a unique opportunity to connect more deeply with the spiritual atmosphere and timeless beauty of this sacred Incan sanctuary.
In the afternoon, we board the train back to Ollanta and continue our journey through the scenic Sacred Valley to Urubamba. We reflect on the experiences and insights gained during our time at Machu Picchu before settling in for the evening at Taypikala Valle Sagrado.
Today, we depart the Sacred Valley and journey by private transfer toward Puno, traveling through the expansive mountain landscapes of the Andes. Along the way, we pause for sun practices and intentional moments of connection, allowing us to integrate the experiences of the journey while honoring the powerful energy of the land and sky.
As we travel through remote villages, rolling plains, and dramatic mountain scenery, we continue deepening our connection to the sacred traditions of Peru. By evening, we arrive at Taypikala Lago Hotel near the shores of Lake Titicaca, where we settle in for rest and renewal.
Today, we journey to Aramu Muru, the legendary stone doorway known as the “Gate of the Gods.” Revered by many as a powerful energetic portal, this sacred site has long been associated with ancient Andean prophecy, spiritual initiation, and higher consciousness. Surrounded by the stillness of the highlands, we take time for reflection, meditation, and connection with the energy of this extraordinary place.
We also explore the nearby crop circles and sacred landscapes of the region, deepening our experience of the mysteries and spiritual traditions connected to Lake Titicaca. After a day of exploration and ceremony, we return to Taypikala Lago Hotel for rest and integration.
Traveling by boat across the deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca, we encounter the Uros people, who construct their islands entirely from totora reeds. On Taquile Island, we experience living Andean culture expressed through textiles, agriculture, and community traditions. Events and teachings led by Matías De Stefano deepen our understanding of this powerful lake, often regarded as a birthplace of ancient civilizations. An optional homestay offers a rare opportunity for cultural immersion.
Explore Sillustani, one of the most important and mysterious archaeological sites in the Peruvian highlands. Perched above the serene waters of Lake Umayo, this sacred site is renowned for its impressive chullpas—ancient stone burial towers built by pre-Incan civilizations to honor nobility and spiritual leaders.
Walking among these remarkable structures offers insight into the sacred traditions, cosmology, and ancestral wisdom connected to the Andes. Surrounded by sweeping landscapes and the quiet beauty of the Altiplano, this experience creates space for reflection and connection before returning to Taypikala Lago Hotel for the evening.
Depart the highlands and fly to Lima, returning to the vibrant coastal capital of Peru. Upon arrival, settle into accommodations in the Miraflores district, known for its ocean views, lively atmosphere, and beautiful parks.
In the evening, gather for a special farewell celebration and dinner, sharing memories, insights, and gratitude for the experiences of the journey. This final gathering offers an opportunity to reflect on the sacred sites, cultural encounters, and personal connections formed throughout the adventure across Peru.
The journey through Peru comes to a close as shuttle transfers are provided for departing guests. Final moments together offer time for reflection, gratitude, and farewells before continuing onward travels.
The experiences, insights, and connections cultivated throughout the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca remain as lasting memories of this transformative adventure through the Andes.
Matías De Stefano is a Consciousness Educator, who many know as the "Rememberer".
Matías De Stefano’s personal journey to reconnect the consciousness of the planet began at a young age as he started remembering past lives in Atlantis and recording his memories in childhood drawings. As an Indigo child, he developed a close relationship with his spirit guides who helped him make sense of these memories and connect with the natural world to uncover his mission.
De Stefano began his YOSOY global journey in 2020, anchoring the world axis between the North and South Poles and generating a worldwide consciousness movement to help people recognize humanity’s purpose on Earth. He is currently developing RECORDIS, an online university that aims to spread the message of a conscious society based on the philosophy he calls Ontocracy.
He is the founder of Arsayian Foundation, a non-profit that supports projects and social movements related to consciousness. De Stefano, who was born in Venado Tuerto, Argentina, began transmitting his unique understanding of reality to wide audiences at the age of 21. In 2018, he was featured in the National Geographic documentary The Rememberer.

Jorge Luis is a chakaruna embodying the wisdom of light of the Inka and Aymara culture which is very profound. In practice this makes the visit to each power place not only have a physical dimension, but transcends, so that people can experience other planes of manifestation, other deep and further dimensions.
Jorge reactivates the profound solar code within each soul, translating it into the principles of love, service, and wisdom—expressed through Munay (love), Llankay (service), and Yachay (wisdom). A beacon of light, Jorge is a guide who helps individuals weave the luminous threads emanating from the cosmos into a tapestry that illuminates the path to their hearts.
The Inca tradition has no separation between the physical and spiritual worlds and Jorge Luis Delgado is an expert at walking the path between both worlds.He received his early training from the Kallawaya shamans of the NE Lake Titicaca region, the lineage of the Wise Ones of the Andes, and from the Qero elders of Cusco, who are the last remaining tribal descendants of the Incas.
Jorge Luis brought to public attention the Aramu Muru Doorway, an inter-dimensional portal located in the Hayu Marca mountains. On the History Channel, he is featured in more than ten episodes of Ancient Aliens. We are honored to be journeying with a guide who has this caliber of knowledge and wisdom.
