Awakening to Joy Tour
July 18–30, 2012

13 Day Itinerary

Day 1 Wednesday, July 18   ARRIVE IN LIMA
Today we arrive early in Lima and catch a flight to Juliaca. Overnight in Chucuito at the Taypikala Hotel.

Day 2 Thursday, July 19   FLY TO CUSCO  
We take a morning flight to Cusco — the Naval of the Universe and Center of the Incan Empire. We are transferred to the Taypikala Hotel and take time to adjust to the altitude. Here we connect with the first animal guide of the Incas — the great Puma — that represents this world and this time. Just being in Cusco, we become part of Puma. In its presence, we liberate the heavy energy (Hucha), and, with the help and courage of Puma, absorb and expand the refined energy (Sami) through our Cusco (navel). (Overnight in Cusco at the Taypikala Hotel) (B)

Day 3 Friday, July 20   TIPON RUINS  
Our first day in the Andean countryside takes us to Tipon Ruins. According to legends, Tipon is one of the royal gardens that Wiracocha ordered to be built. It also may have been a park for upper class or an agricultural center. It is one of the most elaborate examples of agricultural terracing created by the Incas. These tall terraces, which run up the narrow valley, are irrigated by an aqueduct from Pachatusan, the mountain above the site. In addition to the terracing there are also some other structures at Tipon, including baths, a temple complex, canals and aqueducts. Still today, water is rushing though the channels and the wide terraces, masterpieces of mortar-less walls, are in perfect condition.

It is here that we connect to the element of Water — one of the alive elements. We take part in a cleansing ceremony to clean our different bodies and chakras. We will listen to Water and talk to her, thanking her for her service and wisdom. (Overnight in Cusco at the Taypikala Hotel) (B, L)

Day 4 Saturday, July 21   MORAY, MARAS, CHINCHERO  
Today we venture to the sacred terraces of Maras and Moray and the ancient Incan village of Chinchero. In Moray, we find three sets of huge natural depressions that have been sculpted into deep terraces. These circles represent for us the Cosmic Spiral — the expansion of our essence from our center. We work with Earth energy to connect to the womb of Mother Earth, to release our Hucha and one-by-one to put our message into the Cosmos to live fully in this life.

Below Moray are the Maras Salt Terraces where the Incas cleverly built terraces to capture the flow of a salty spring that emerges from the hillside. During the dry season, the water evaporates, leaving salt that can be harvested and sold. When light is reflected across the terraces and refracted by the salt crystals, the effect is quite stunning — reminding us of our unique light inside that is spilling out into the world lighting a path for those to come.

Along the way, we travel up to 12,500 feet to the ancient Incan village of Chinchero, where the terraced farmlands of the Incas are still visible. In Incan times, Chincero was the main population center for the entire Sacred Valley and today remains an active traditional “weaving” center. With a spectacular backdrop of the Cordillera Vilcabamba and the snow-capped peak of Salkantay, Chinchero is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow. Here we enter an adobe colonial church, dating from the early seventeenth century, which has been built upon the foundations of an Inca temple or palace. The ceiling and walls are covered in beautiful floral and religious designs. (Overnight in Cusco at the Taypikala Hotel) (B, L)

Day 5 Sunday, July 22   PISAC & OLLANTAYTAMBO  
As we continue our pilgrimage to Machu Picchu, we follow the Urubamba River up the Sacred Valley stopping in Pisac and Ollantaytambo. The Pisac and Ollantaytambo ruins are the most important ruins in the valley with their agricultural, administrative, social, military, spiritual and political roots. The hillsides are dotted with innumerable Inca constructions, including fortresses and magnificently crafted temples and terraces.

In the town of Pisac, we wander through the Sunday Mercado de Treque (local's trade market) where the natives trade vegetables, herbs and potatoes for other goods like matches, oranges and medicines. This market dates back to the ancient Peruvian days where Peruvians in the highlands depended on trade. This market is also an artesian market where you can practice haggling for Peruvian goods such as woven blankets, silver jewelry, alpaca sweaters, musical instruments, artwork and other goods.

The town of Ollantaytambo is strategically built on a mountainside that dominated the three valleys that come together at this point. The town appears to have been master planned based on the architectural style and layout of its streets and squares, the design of its water and sewage system and the use of massive polyhedral stones and trapezoidal doorways each cut perfectly to fit and withstand any natural disaster.

Overlooking Ollantaytambo is Viracocha — the great creator god in Incan mythology. According to legend, Viracocha rose from the darkness to bring forth light and breathed life into stones to make mankind. Here we greet and talk with the spirits of the mountains (Apus) using the ‘Mama Cuca’ (coca leaves) to send our intentions from our inner center to the spiritual world. We walk along the energetic line, called Tunupa's Route, visiting the Inca power places and connecting with the third animal guide of the Incas – the great Condor. (Overnight in Ollantaytambo) (B, D)

Day 6 Monday, July 23   MACHU PICCHU  
Taking the train from Ollantaytambo, we arrive in Aguas Calientes at the base of the 'Crystal City' of Machu Picchu. With great anticipation, we continue our pilgrimage to Machu Picchu celebrating our true essence, as the Children of the Sun. After asking permission of the guardians of Machu Picchu — the Puma, Condor and Light of Spirits — to enter, we ask to expand our spirits with the qualities of the Father and the Mother — Munay (love), Llancay (service), Yachay (wisdom). Our pilgrimage includes a visit to the Seven Places of Power intertwined with meditation and ceremonies to connect us fully to the energetic power of Machu Picchu. Every invocation made at Machu Picchu is amplified to incalculable proportions due to the stone complex's high voltage magnetic focal point. (Overnight in Aguas Calientes at the Taypikala Machu Picchu Hotel.)

Day 7 Tuesday, July 24   MACHU PICCHU & CUSCO
This morning, we return to Machu Picchu for a sunrise ceremony, merging our energies with this sacred site and deepening our understanding of the Inca mythology. You enjoy the rest of the day following your intuition and exploring at your own pace. You may want to climb the sacred peak of Wayna Picchu, hike to the Temple of the Moon, walk to the Sun Gate or Inca Bridge or further explore the Royal Tomb, the Funerary Rock, the Sacred Plaza, the Condor Temple or the Inihuatana Stone. In the afternoon, we return to Cusco. (Overnight in Cusco at the Taypikala Cusco Hotel.) (B)

Day 8 Wednesday, July 25   ALTARS  
Near Cusco, there are several important Incan temples including the Temple of the Heart, Moon Temple, Tambomachay, Sacsayhuaman, Puca Pucara or Q'enko. At some of these altars, we admire the wonderful work of our ancestors, connect with the living elements to release our heavy energies (Hucha), reconnect with what we are and surrender to our true essence of love. By connecting to the womb of Mother Earth (Pachamama) and the Serpent (the second guide of the Incas), we are given the opportunity for a new rebirth.

The Temple of the Heart opens our heart as we embrace the authentic nature of this power. Our heart is at home in this sanctuary as it readies us to connect with the womb of the Mother and the Serpent for our rebirth.

In Tambomachay – “Baño de la Ñusta” (Bath of the Ñusta) or “Balneario Inca” (Incan Watering Place) — we experience the very powerful purifying thermal baths that combine the energy of the elements of Water and Fire. The sound of the water, the quietness and peace of the environment, as well as its constructed form, allows us to rest our hearts and souls. When we are ready, we partake of the “source of life” (Water) to ignite our internal passions.

On our way back to Cusco, we visit the magnificent Inca fortress of Sacsayhuaman (pronounced “sexy woman”). Sacsayhuaman can be translated as 'speckled falcon' or 'speckled head'. ‘Speckled head’ refers to the belief that the city of Cusco was laid out in the form of a puma whose head was the hill of Sacsayhuaman. The origins are uncertain but the fortress is generally attributed to the period of Inca Pachacuti, the man who essentially founded the Inca empire. Sacsayhuaman played an important part in the final defeat of the Inca Empire by the Spanish. (Overnight in Cusco at the Taypikala Hotel.) (B, L)

Day 9 Thursday, July 26   CUSCO TO LAKE TITICACA VIA RAQCHI  
Today, we travel up and across the highest road in Peru; watching the scenery change as we near the High Plateau and Puno. In route, we visit Raqchi — the Temple of Wiracocha — built for ‘Apu Kon Titi Wiraqocha’, the superior invisible God of the Andean people. Perhaps the most audacious Inca construction with the largest single roof, the temple is built on top of a volcanic stone foundation. Here we connect with the element of fire in preparation for our further water cleansing at Lake Titicaca.

In the late afternoon, we arrive in Chucuito and take some time to adjust to the altitude and prepare for our adventure in Lake Titicaca. (Overnight in Chucuito (near Puno) at the Taypikala Hotel.) (B, L)

Day 10 Friday, July 27   SILLUSTANI  
After a short ride from Puno, we visit the Cemetery Temple of Sillustani, the place of a remarkable telluric force that created a small plateau from where it is possible to see Umayo Lake and the mountains. We explore the Temple of Fire and the Sun Temple to connect with the Cosmic Spiral. The veil between the worlds is thinner here than in other sites, so we continue our pilgrimage to the Chullpas (Burial Towers) which hold the secret of reincarnation. (Overnight in Chucuito (near Puno) at the Taypikala Hotel.) (B)

Day 11 Saturday, July 28   UROS & ISLA AMANTANI  
We go to Puno and board our boat to take a three hour voyage across Lake Titicaca — the highest navigable lake in the world — through the floating islands of the Uros and on to Amantani Island. The floating islands, home to the pre–Incan Uros tribe, are manmade reed islands constructed totally from the totora reeds. These special reeds provide home, sustenance and transportation for their residents. Here, guided by the Uros, we sail on their reed boats — taking time to bask in our divineness and dream our sacred lives into existence.

According to legends, the Uros ‘existed before the sun, when the earth was still dark and cold. They were impervious to drowning or being struck by lightning. They lost their status as super beings when they disobeyed universal order and mixed with humans, making them susceptible to contempt. They scattered, losing their identity, language and customs. They became the Uro–Aymaras, and now speak Aymara. Because of their simple and precarious lifestyle, the Incas thought them worth little and accordingly taxed them very little. Yet the Uros, with their basic reed homes out lasted the mighty Incas with their huge stone temples and mountain–top enclaves.’

Continuing on, we venture to Isla Amantani — a vegetarian island — also known as the balance island. It is home to two temples; one to the Cosmic Mother (Pachamama) and one to the Cosmic Father (Pachatata). We hike up to the top–of–the–world and, as the sun sets over Lake Titicaca, have an important ceremony to Pachamama and Pachatata to help restore balance to us as individuals and to our world. We come down by the light of the star-filled sky to stay overnight with one of the warm, open-hearted and hospitable families; breaking bread and celebrating with music and dance under the Southern Cross and Milky Way. It truly is a beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime experience. (Overnight in Adobe House of Amantani Islanders.) (B, L, D)

Day 12 Sunday, July 29   AMANTANI / CHARCAS / ARAMU MURU PORTAL  
As the sun comes full circle, we greet it with a special ceremony. Using the powers of t he Mother Earth and the Sacred Mountains, we practice self-healing. We connect to our inner wisdom and listen for the great message within each of us that will help us shine our own personal light — to be of service; to help the planet and its people to heal. It is time we resolve any fears we have within and awaken fully to our inner wisdom and unique purpose.

After receiving the ‘first light’ of day in our hearts, we bid farewell to our humble hosts and take our boat to Charcas and then on to the Interdimensional Gateway of Lord Aramu Muru — the house of the ancient Spirits and Masters — the dimensional doorway of the Ancient Ones. After paying tribute to the Puma and walking along the great Serpent's back, we make our way to the Condor at the Aramu Muru Doorway.

This gateway was not known for many years until Jorge saw it in a dream. He went to his elders who told him he had a sacred responsibility to re–discover this place... and so he did! We have a special ceremony to help us connect with the vortex energy and venture through the portal to other dimensions and worlds. We return to Chucuito to integrate our interdimensional travels. (Overnight in Chucuito at the Taypikala). (B, D)

Day 13 Monday, July 30   JULIACA TO LIMA AND HOME  

Our last day at Lake Titicaca is spent in service with Jorge's special Dream Pillow project. We learn from the innocence of children as they draw their dreams on their pillow so at night the energetic forces are put to work to “dream” their dream world into existence. Because of their innocence and purity, children have many of the answers we are seeking — what is our role in this world; how can we help ourselves; how can we help others; so listen carefully to the wisdom of the children! We then walk the labyrinth contemplating where we go from here.

In the afternoon, we transfer to the airport to fly to Lima and to connect with our international flights to go back home. With all the potential energies we experienced and integrated, you can choose to live a NEW LIFE — a DIFFERENT LIFE — a DIVINE LIFE. Always remember that life is a Divine Adventure!

Our Spiritual Guides and Leaders

Jorge Luis Delgado
In the Inca tradition, there is no separation between the physical and spiritual worlds. Jorge Luis Delgado is an expert at walking this path between both worlds. An indigenous Peruvian, he was raised on the high plateau in the Lake Titicaca region and received his early training from the Kallawaya shamans, the lineage of the wise ones of the Andes, and from the Q'ero elders of Cusco, who are the last remaining tribal descendents of the Incas.

As a modern Inca by birth and heritage, he embraces and lives the three Inca principles of life — Munay, Llancay and Yachay. Munay, the first principle, is the Law of Love; unconditional love and compassion for everything that surrounds us. The second principle, Llancay, is the Law of Service; working and creating through the expression of our gifts as the ultimate service to the Divine. And Yachay, the third principle, is the Law of Wisdom; connecting with our inner spiritual or authentic self and knowing all is One.

Author of Andean Awakening: an Inca Guide to Mystical Peru and a new soon–to–be–released book, Jorge is recognized worldwide as an authority on Inca philosophy, spirituality and tradition. He was featured in the BBC documentary, Everyman, and is frequently interviewed on Peruvian television. Jorge hosted the Second Elders Gathering at Lake Titicaca in March of 2007 and the Activation of the Solar Disc gathering at Lake Titicaca in 2010. He led a conference at Mt. Shasta in November, 2010 to bring the energy of the Solar Disc Activation fully into North America. Jorge has offered workshops in North, South and Central America, as well as Europe. He teaches annually at New York City's Omega Holistic Institute and at the New York Open Center. Jorge has been interviewed for a five–part History Channel documentary titled Ancient Aliens airing since late 2010.

Jorge has brought to public attention the Aramu Muru Doorway, an inter'dimensional portal located in the Hayu Marca mountains in south Peru. He is also a founding member of The Brotherhood of the Solar Disc, an Andean esoteric society. Jorge is way'shower for this 10th PachaKuti—the time we are currently living in when the world is being turned upside down. He teaches that a new consciousness is emerging, one leading to a Golden Age that will be fully activated by 2012. He is a keeper of the ancient knowledge and uses it to assist in healing for all who are ready. Jorge freely shares his wisdom with the world to support the dream that it is time for humanity to awaken and live fully in love, peace and oneness. He believes it is an extraordinary time to be alive as the 2012 alignment of the Earth with the axis of the Milky Way Galaxy announces a new dawn!

Jorge Luis Delgado is the founder and owner of Kontiki Tour Company and owner of hotels in Cusco, Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu. Most importantly, Jorge is known and respected by the Andean priests and indigenous people of the region. In addition to his native Spanish, Jorge speaks fluent English, as well as three indigenous languages. He has a vast collection of antique textiles and artifacts, which he is currently organizing into a museum at Taypikala Hotel, Cusco. Jorge has hosted and remains in contact with such notable people as Don Miguel Ruiz, Bo Bingham (grandson of Hiram Bingham), and David Childress, author of the Lost Cities Series. Jorge and his wife have three children and reside in Puno, Peru.

We are honored to be led by Jorge Luis Delgado, one of the foremost spiritual guides in all of Peru, on this sacred pilgrimage through the crystal sites of Peru . . . the new heart center of our planet. With Jorge, help us bridge cultures and activate the ancient dream of the return of the Children of the Sun.

Junia Gail Imel
In 2002, Junia Gail Imel took a quantum leap. She left her MBA degree and successful twenty-five year leadership career in advanced technology and education to discover the world from a new perspective — her own intuitive awareness. Courageously following an inner call, she spent 6 months traveling solo in Peru where she was invited into ritual with the Q'ero, Shipibo and medicine men/women. There she spent time studying with indigenous shamans, curanderas, spiritual guides and mystics. Her life was changed forever.

During her first trip to South America, Junia participated in the Merrayabo Tsintikash Jiwiki Bewakani Ritual Ceremony — a ritual to heal the master plants of the world &Mdash; conducted by Shipibo–Conibo shamans. The shamans bestowed upon her, her Shipibo name “Inin Beka” which means “sweet smelling protective cloth.” Since that moment, she opened to the calling and has become a master of holding sacred space so others can journey within; safely and fully protected.

And now she has merged her love of adventure with RIM® and her natural leadership into a unique travel experience called, Divine Adventures. Here one journeys to inner and outer worlds to unleash innate wisdom and genius. She recently led a sacred journey into Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley and Lake Titicaca and is looking to other exquisite trips in 2012 that combine service with personal expansion and transformation.
