The Coca Leaves reading is a spiritual practice since Inca times, when people needed to make important decisions related to their family, planting season, predict the weather or even the wars, etc. They asked to the “MAMA COCA” coca leaves.

Day 1: Q’ero
Our Coca Leaf Reading Ceremony offers the opportunity to learn about Andean culture, and traditions and to gain insight into your future. This ancient practice will open your spirit to the world of the Andes and to an ancient culture persevering in our modern times. This tradition is shared through generations of Q´ero community healers who live a few days´ walk through the mountains. They typically are chosen by and learn from their direct family. Each has their own specializations and are chosen by Travel and Healing for their abilities. We are grateful to our shamans and hope you too will experience their gifts in one of our Coca Leaf Reading Ceremonies.
The reading take place in your hotel room or our main office in Cusco. The coca leaf reading ceremony starts with a warm welcome, and to begin forming your customized ceremony the shaman will ask for your name and reasons for visiting. There will be a prayer to the Apus (mountain gods) to show our respect. A small blanket will be laid out and the shaman will blow his breath to the mountains through three coca leaves. He or she will then lay out a handful of leaves on the blanket. How the leaves fall is the message sent by the mountains. The main categories the shaman will focus on are health, family, friends and occupation.
