Ñ'usta Peru Pilgrimage 2026

A Sacred Journey into Living Earth

Some journeys change where you are, and some transform who you are becoming. This pilgrimage is an invitation to walk with us through the living landscapes of Peru – with its breathtaking mountains and beautiful glacial lakes, guided by ancestral wisdom, ceremony, and relationship with Pachamama.

Each phase carries its own rhythm, allowing time for ceremony, rest, and assimilation. Nothing is rushed. Everything is intentional.

We travel as pilgrims, allowing ourselves to be shaped by our experience of place. Across mountains and sacred waters, we walk slowly, ceremonially, and with deep respect for lineage, land, and reciprocity.

This journey is about receiving, listening, and allowing the seeds of the Ñ’ustas to be planted gently within the body and heart.

We work closely with Pampamesayoqs Don Agustin, Don Santos, and their partners Doña Benita and Doña Remigia. Our intention is always to work as a team, as an Allyu. With the deepest respect for these Q’ero teachings, we encourage long-lasting, real relationships with Don Agustin and his family.

What are the Ñ’usta Karpay?

The Ñ’usta Karpay are sacred energetic transmissions from the Andean tradition, carrying the wisdom of the seven key Ñ’ustas – the feminine intelligences of the Apus, waters, and the Pleiades.

Passed down through the lineage of Q’ero elders, these rites awaken a deeper connection to balance, creativity, and inner harmony, gently weaving together feminine and masculine energies into coherence within our bodies and hearts.

It is not necessary to know a lot about them before you arrive in Peru; the trip is tailored to your needs.

“The teachings and initiations continue to unfold long after returning home.”

This is an invitation to receive the sacred transmissions of the feminine intelligence of the Apus – held within the living Andean tradition and guided by Q’ero elders, alongside Ali Rabjohns.

Ñ’usta Peru Pilgrimage 2026

Participants describe this Peru pilgrimage as a once-in-a-lifetime experience — a sacred journey held with deep care, humour, and integrity. From receiving Karpays and healings to being welcomed into the home of Don Agustin and his family, the experience was profoundly humbling and transformative. Many speak of lasting inner shifts, deep connection with the mountains and nature beings, and returning home more fully themselves than ever before.

I am honoured to invite you to spend time in the energy of a beautiful, highly respected, and powerful man. Don Agustin Machacca Flores is a Pampamesayoq, paqo, healer, and a wizard of light, but mostly his heart seems to hold endless Munay and respect for all living beings. Don Agustin started to walk the path of light in his early years, when his grandfather read in the coca leaves that this was his path.

Don Agustin is an elder and has a permanent life in the village of Cochamocco, Q’eros, with his wife and relatives. He travels from here to perform his work and spread his wisdom. His son Santos is a Pampamesayoq and will join us as a translator and organiser.

Pampamesayoqs source their power and information from the land, working in reciprocity or ‘Ayni’. The medicine people within the Q’ero nation are known as “paqos,” which means “priest or mystic” in Quechua, the language of the Inca.

Being in the full presence of this ancient wisdom can forever change the way we perceive the world around us. It opens the infinite door into our Llankay (the power of service and body). Yachay (the power of mind, wisdom, and knowledge) and Munay (the power of love and willpower).

West of Cusco you will find her Apu, and opposite her, you will have Apu Ausengate, the male protector of Cusco, and Mama Simona is the female protectress of Cusco, all in perfect balance.

DOÑA TERESA - Sonqo Ñawi (Heart) - K'umir (Green) She is the goddess of Harmony. She carries softness and when we surrender to this feeling within, we come within a deep connection with our soul and the energy our soul holds. She is the Ñ'usta of Ausengate and represents soul connection, she is found in the centre of the Ausengate Mountain range. This often means that we will feel more nurtured, become more generous, and carry a deep feeling of healing within. She carries Munay and can help us to heal others.
