Horse-Back Riding or Bicicling.
We have three spectacular trails that range from easy, medium and
difficult gradiets. One is going up the Canyons of the Sould çs
into the Tundras that meet the Mountain Glaciars.
The Other is going down the Palca Canyon, walking along the river
bed, into the village of Palca, returning to Allkamari by vehicle.
The third is a gentle walk along the hillside visiting the local
native Aymara Villages.

Journey into
Kallawaya Shaman Territory
The Kallawayas are a unique Quechua Speaking ethnic group
who are highly regarded as shamans and healers since the times
of the Inca Empire. They still hold a unique ritual language
only they understand, and a vast store of ritual and herbal
knowledge that earned them the bestowal of the Cultural Patrimony
of Humanity title by UNESCO. |
Their hidden Valley is located about 9 hours outside La Paz on
a 4x4 vehice, going past Lake Titicaca, across the Andean Mountain
Range through Ulla Ulla National Park, where one of the few remaining
Vicuña reserves is found (the finest camelid, relative of
the llama), and into a deep valley, where the Kallawaya Villages
are spread across many diffrent ecological floors. from the highest,
just below the andean glaciars, to the deepest, close to the brow
of the jungle.
Here lie some amazing villages still intact after 500 years of colonization,
with ancient inca terraces, and stone houses, and some very wise
shamans who practice their many diffrent rituals for healing, divination,
blessing and purification.
Also, many Sacred Power Places for pilgrimages can be found in this
region.
The Kallawayas believe they have a very precious knowledge they
have kept safely for all time, and are now willing to share some
of these with visitors to help bring about positive change in our
world.
