Day 3: This will be a full day of Machu Picchu. Through many millennia Machu Picchu has served as an initiatory center for students of a higher learning.The ancient sacred site is fed by a grid of powerful natural energies patterned by the surrounding peaks above and from extensive caverns below. While many succeeding cultures built at Machu Picchu, its origins are seen in the megalithic (gigantic stone) structures left by an ancient highly advanced people many thousands of years vanished. (See: Expanded History). Our guide in the ruins, Kucho, shares information of the traditions taught to him by a by a local Andean master shaman. - B - D - ~ Machu Picchu displaying pre-Inca awareness, sacred geometry and geo-energy flows
