SHAMANISM IN SOUTH AMERICA

New post on Jet Set Zero about ayahuasca and vomiting snakes: 

Ayahuasca is an ancient Amazonian plant that imparts visions and healing to those who work with it.


A single ayahuasca ceremony can be so powerful that it can equate to  years of self-development in terms of the issues you can work through  and the new perspectives you can reach. 
Not everyone drinks ayahuasca because  they seek healing, though it is hard not to feel that you have been  healed afterward.  Simply look around to observe how much healing our  world needs. 
Symptoms of our Western malaise are evident: a mass  mentality of material accumulation; a society that would rather type an  email than knock on their neighbor’s door; an entire generation who  doesn’t know what to do with their lives.

Ayahuasca holds the space for undertaking a journey deep within your  psyche and has the potential to shatter all the beliefs you hold about  how the world works.  It can be hard to feel that you are the same  person afterward.

Pisac is home to more than just ruins. On Sundays, local indigenous people gather for a weekly market to eat, socialize, and sell handmade goods.

Our guide David leads us up and down terraced hillsides and narrow crevasses at the Pisac ruins in the Sacred Valley.

Hiking in the Sacred Valley of Peru
Hired a private guide from Eco Trek Peru to lead us through the ruins of Tipon and Pisac on a full day tour. Totally worth it and highly recommended. Our guide David was part Eagle Scout, part walking encyclopedia on all things Peruvian. Not to mention patient as I huffed and puffed while climbing up and down the ruins as I tried to adjust to the altitude (around 11,000 ft).
