Private · Only by Auqui Adventures
Three private experiences we built around people we have known for years: a native paqo who reads the coca leaves and gives thanks to Pachamama, our lead guide Walter R., and a Quechua weaving family in the Sacred Valley. One private group at a time, on the dates you choose.
A private ceremony with a native Andean paqo
A private four-hour ceremony in the hills above Cusco, led by a native Quechua paqo, an Andean ritual elder. He reads the coca leaves for each of you, then builds a despacho, a gift of thanks to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the apus, the sacred mountains, on behalf of your family.
Inca Cusco, the market and the night, with Walter R.
A private eight-hour day through the Inca capital with Walter R., the guide guests rate 4.99 out of 5 on Airbnb. Walk Sacsayhuamán before the crowds, read the walls of Qorikancha, eat where Cusco families eat, and finish at twilight with the street food from his night tour.
A day inside a Quechua community, as a guest
A private day with a Quechua weaving family in the Sacred Valley. Dye wool with plants and cochineal, try a backstrap loom beside women who learned it from their grandmothers, help open a pachamanca, a feast cooked in an earth oven, and walk the family’s potato and corn fields.
Each one is private, designed and run only by Auqui Adventures, and built on people we have known for years: a native paqo, our own lead guide Walter R., and a Quechua weaving family. We take one private group at a time.
Send a request with your dates and the number of guests. We confirm availability with the paqo, Walter or the family within 24 hours, then send a secure payment link.
Yes. All three fit into any Auqui trek or private journey, and we plan the order around your altitude, starting with the gentler days.
