Spiritual Huchuy Qosqo Trek with San Pedro Healing Ceremony (3 Days)

San Pedro medicine’s effects last 8 to 12 hours, offering an enjoyable, dream-like state. Initial lethargy may precede vivid visions, and purging can occur for energy release. Effects include slight numbness, a quicker heartbeat, and altered perception, often in waves. Our shamanic healer guides you through a cleansing San Pedro ceremony. Post-ceremony effects may linger but tend to diminish after 8 hours. San Pedro’s impact is both extroverted—fostering harmony with self, nature, and the cosmos—and introverted, delving into personal emotions and experiences.
