Alcides Bravo Lopez

A native of Urubamba and a proud Quechua descendant, Alcides Bravo Lopez has been walking the path of Huachuma (San Pedro cactus) since the age of 11. Raised in the Sacred Valley of Peru, Alcides was initiated into the medicine through life itself, through hardship, healing, and deep communion with the spirits of the land.

With over two decades of experience, Alcides carries the medicine with humility, clarity, and the quiet power of someone who has journeyed through darkness and emerged with light. His presence is both grounding and expansive, rooted in the earth yet open to the stars.

Alcides teaches through living example. He walks, breathes, and embodies the lessons of love, forgiveness, and resilience, always infused with humor and deep compassion. His ceremonies offer not only healing but a remembrance, of our connection to nature, to spirit, and to the truth within.
