Magic in Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is one of the 7 wonders of the World, the home of the ancient Inca civilization and for the powerful ancients that came before them. Known as “the lost city”, Machu Picchu is a strong energy vortex. Visiting this mysteriously beautiful place has been a transformational experience for many travelers.
The ancients created Machu Picchu in the shape of the Condor – a mystical bird that represented the divine connection. A high percentage of the rock is quartz crystal – so it is sometimes referred to as the Crystal condor – and the potency of energetic frequency is strong and beautiful.
Your vibrations and frequency will begin to match the surrounding energy. Machu Picchu is one of the most spiritually aligning places to visit because it opens and resonates with all the Chakras.
It is important to remember that much of what is commonly known about Machu Picchu comes from traditional educational models where much of the magic and mystery would be unknown and unsaid. We are so fortunate to be visiting with Kucho – an Inca Shaman – who will tell us about the real nature of this truly magical place and show us power and ceremonial spaces.
Everything…EVERYTHING…has a purpose there. Every rock, stone and structure. According to Kucho: in Machu Picchu “Nothing is for nothing…”
In Aguas Calientes – You can have a massage, shop or visit the Thermal Baths which are located at the edge of town and are thermo-medicinal waters, surrounded by a beautiful landscape of mountains.
