“Cusco…guardian of the ancient Andean Kingdom and thousand-year-old temples that dot the inspiring landscape and function as stone clocks aligned with the stars…this is the context of a holistic journey to reconnect with your inner-self through a trip back in time to lost cities and energetic earth centers. Immerse yourself in this union with Mother Nature.”
— Andres Adasme, MLP’s Head of Adventure and Exploration.
