THE HEART OF AN – SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS, PERU
Part Seventeen: Day 11 – November 19 2024
LAGUNA QORICOCHA PART ONE (of four):
On our eleventh day together we drove to Laguna Qoricocha ~ the sacred lake of RA ~ which is located on top of a mountain. This is also the sacred lake of the great Inka Pachacutec who is known as He Who Overturns Time and Space. We love coming here because it feels like a Timeless True World.
Our ceremony here began with the sounds of our eight pututus. Then we played our Drums of AN.
COMING NEXT: PART TWO QORICOCHA – THE CEREMONY BEGINS!
