About this Retreat
He is the brother of Rolando and Percy Velazquez, and their father, Martin Ccoyo, is a well-known Andean paqo (medicine man). Raised in the Sacred Valley’s Viacha community, Yuliño has a deep connection to the mystical practices of the Andes.
He is particularly gifted in Coca Leaf Readings, a sacred tradition used for guidance and insight. Yuliño's connection to the Andean spiritual world allows him to provide clarity and wisdom through his readings, drawing on the ancient knowledge passed down through his family. With his strong ties to the land and the teachings of his father, Yuliño plays a vital role in helping others connect with the spiritual wisdom of the Andean people.
Meredith Rose is a Plant Medicine Mentor, Harm Reduction Advocate, and the founder of Heantos Worldwide, an organization promoting ancient Hmong herbal formulas for detox and recovery. Her journey into plant medicine began after overcoming personal struggles with addiction, which led her to explore the transformative power of indigenous healing traditions. In 2021, she founded Chispa Wasi, a retreat center in the Sacred Valley of Peru, where people from around the world come to learn from tribal ancestral carriers of sacred medicines.
Meredith has dedicated her life to advocating for indigenous wisdom, drug policy reform, and holistic recovery. She also serves as the Vice Chair of the Psychedelic Society of San Francisco, where she expanded its psychedelic recovery group to Peru. Now based at Hacienda Paucartika, she continues to challenge conventional paradigms of addiction and healing, offering retreat experiences that bridge ancient knowledge with modern healing practices.
Details of this retreat
Join us for an unforgettable night under the stars at the historic Hacienda Paucartika, available for 1:1 or private group bookings. Spend the night by the fire, surrounded by the powerful presence of the Andes, with an unobstructed view of the stars and the Incan temple perched on the mountain above. Marvel at the steep cliffs that stretch from the temple down to the hacienda, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop.
This sacred cactus has been used for healing and spiritual exploration for thousands of years, offering profound transformation and insight throughout the ages.
When the Spanish arrived, they renamed the cactus San Pedro, associating it with Saint Peter, the keeper of the keys to heaven. They believed the cactus provided a doorway to spiritual understanding, hence the new name.
Hot tea and coca will be offered throughout the night, with fruit snacks available later on. Participants will receive an Andean energetic cleansing as they sit with their guide during this transformative journey. In the morning, breakfast will be served, followed by an integration session led by Meredith Rose, a dedicated guide with over a decade of experience in plant medicine, healing practices, and facilitating transformative retreats.
Please reach out to receive a preparation guide before your journey. Transportation to and from Cusco or other Sacred Valley locations is included, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
