Why Travel with Peru Coyana?
The Pachamama Offering Ceremony — also known as a “Payment to the Earth” — is a sacred Andean ritual of profound spiritual meaning. In this ceremony, we thank Mother Earth for her blessings and ask for prosperity, health, love, and protection.
Traditionally held on August 1st, it can be performed any time of year. It’s a unique cultural and spiritual experience that connects participants with Andean wisdom through natural elements and the guidance of a local shaman.
