Walk in the footsteps of Inca priests and skywatchers as we journey from the arqueoastronomical code walls of Q’enqo Chico to the lesser-known yet deeply sacred Huaca Cheqetaqaqa, a powerful point of connection between earth and stars in the Andean world. These areas of carved limestone formation were used for rituals involving solstice light, blood offerings, and likely lunar observation. Here, the sun’s shadow and starlight would align with grooves in the stone to signal important agricultural and ceremonial dates.
Join us on a conscious journey around Q’enqo, one of the most mystical and lesser-explored sacred sites of Cusco. Known for its stone altars, ancient carvings, and underground passages, Q’enqo area was a center of initiation, sacrifice, and cosmic alignment for the Inca. Around Q’enqo, you will feel the presence of natural energy vortexes—places where the spiritual and material worlds meet. These vortexes are said to amplify intention, accelerate healing, and offer deeper access to spiritual insight. The ancient Incas built temples and ceremonial spaces precisely in these spots to connect with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the cosmos.
This route was likely used by Inca astronomer-priests during celestial pilgrimages, tracking the movement of the Southern Cross, Pleiades, and dark constellations like the Llama and the Serpent. These sacred sites are more than just stones; it’s a living memory of Inca cosmology, where the earth’s energies spiral through carved altars, underground passages, and solar-aligned markers, and you!
This is a lovely hike, a wonderful ceremony, and a return
The stone speaks. The plant listens. You remember.
Huaca Cheqetaqaqa. We find a ceremonial rock formation shaped like a mirror or chair, carved high into a ridge that overlooks Cusco and the sacred southern skies. This huaca was possibly a solar or stellar observation point, aligned with the Milky Way (Hatun Mayu) and key seasonal markers. In Quechua tradition, Cheqetaqaqa can be interpreted as a place of “mirroring” or “splitting”. In Quechua tradition, Cheqetaqaqa can be interpreted as a place of “mirroring” or “splitting”—perhaps referring to the duality between the Hanan Pacha (upper) and Uku Pacha (lower) worlds.
In the presence of Wachuma (San Pedro)—a sacred heart-opening plant medicine—you will enter this field with expanded awareness, allowing the energy of the land to guide your healing and awakening.
