The Journey of a Lifetime

2026 Voyage of the Divine Feminine

​A Peru Pilgrimage

Organized by Rainbow Mystery School in partnership with the Apaza-Suclli Lineage of Q'ero Wisdom Keepers and P’aqos.

Excursion Dates: 
​October 8 – 17,  with an optional extension to Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain from October 18-21


​✨ For Those Who Feel the Call of the Mountains
This sacred journey through the mountains and temples of Peru is a pilgrimage of remembrance — a return to the womb of the Earth, to the source of wisdom, and to the radiant feminine current that weaves all life together.

Over the course of ten to fourteen luminous days, we travel through the Sacred Valley and the high Andes, guided by the Apaza Suclli lineage of the Q’ero, the living descendants of the Inka. Together, we enter ceremony, meditation, and initiatory transmission in some of the most powerful energetic sites of the Andes — places where stone, sky, and spirit still speak in the language of light.

Our P’aqo and Ñusta P’aqo guides of the Apaza Succli lineage:
  • Doña Marisol Succli Apaza, daughter of Don Justo, and granddaughter of Don Alejandro Apaza and Don Sebatian Succli
  • Brothers Don Raul Apaza and Don Justo Apaza, sons of “The Last Great Chumpi P’aqo”, Don Alejandro Apaza
  • Doña Marqueza Apaza, sister of Raul and Justo, Daughter of Don Alejandro, and Lineage keeper of Altomesayok Doña Maria Apaza, the last great Altomesayok of the Q’ero people.
  • Doña Lucia Apaza, Ñusta P'aqo and San Pedro (Huachuma) Ceremonialist. 

This is a journey of Munay — love made visible — and Ayni, sacred reciprocity.

Each step invites you to soften, to open, and to remember your place in the great web of creation. From the temples of Cusco to the Bridge of the Goddess (Ñusta Chaka), from the heart-opening medicine of Huachuma to the stellar teachings of the Pleiades at Humantay Lagoon, every encounter becomes an initiation into balance: masculine and feminine, earth and cosmos, matter and spirit.

In the presence of the Awaq Ñustas, the women weavers of the highlands, we learn that creation itself is feminine — that each thread, each gesture, each song is an act of prayer. And beneath the snow-covered gaze of Apu Ausangate, the great mountain spirit, we receive the final karpay — a transmission of remembrance that awakens the healer, the visionary, and the earth-keeper within.

You can also experience the magic of the ancient mountain temple of Machu Picchu, and the stunning landscape of Rainbow Mountain, painted upon Peru’s mountainous landscape by Pachamama herself – with our optional 4 day extension.

This pilgrimage is for those who feel the call of the Andes — who long to walk in beauty, to listen to the voice of Pachamama, and to reclaim the sacred feminine within themselves and the world.

Our excursion was intentionally priced at an affordable cost of $2265 / participant, so these teachings and experiences are not reserved for the few - but offered to any sincere seeker who feels the call of the Andes simmering in their heart. If you would like to extend your trip and visit Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain, the additional cost is $680. 

Peru changes people.

The land awakens memory.

The ceremonies open the heart.

The mountains activate something ancient and true.

If the Divine Feminine has been whispering to you from the winds of Peru, this is your path of return.

Our Wisdom Keepers and Guides


Picture
 Ñusta P'aqo Marisol Apaza
Marisol is the primary facilitator of our travels, and was born in the Q’eros community of Quico. She has been walking her spiritual path since the age of 19 and began her deep journey of learning, service, and connection with the ancestral wisdom of the Andes, at a young age.


She comes from two sacred lineages: The Apaza lineage, as the daughter of Don Justo Apaza and the granddaughter of the great Chumpi Master, Don Alejandro Apaza, and The Suclli lineage, as the granddaughter of the great Master Don Sebastián Suclli. She has been confirmed in the Path of her Ancestors, honoring and safeguarding the knowledge that has been passed down through generations of medicine men and women in both the Apaza and Suclli lineages.

In addition to her spiritual path, Marisol is an entrepreneur and founder of Wayra Q’eros, through which she weaves together ancestral medicine, living culture, and conscious travel. From a very young age, she began working and learning new languages, allowing her to serve as a bridge between Andean communities and people from different parts of the world.

Always in connection with her community and Pachamama, Marisol walks her path with commitment, respect, and love for her heritage - and carries forward the mission of preserving and sharing the wisdom of her ancestors.

Don Raúl Apaza
Don Raúl is an Incan P'aqo and the middle son of the great Chumpi Master, Don Alejandro Apaza. He is a member of the sacred Apaza lineage from the Q’ero community, and is a guardian of the ancestral wisdom of the Andean spiritual tradition.

With 24 years on the spiritual path, Raúl has dedicated his life to service, healing, and energetic harmonization. His primary gift is a deep connection with the Khuya Mesa, an ancestral spiritual tool inherited from the Machulas—the sacred ancestors—through which he channels peace, medicine, balance, and harmony.

His work is carried out mainly within Peru, traveling to different cities and communities, bringing Andean ancestral medicine, strengthening spiritual balance, and sowing peace wherever he goes.


Picture
Don Justo Apaza
Don Justo is an Incan P'aqo and the eldest son of the great Chumpi Master, Don Alejandro Apaza.  He is a carrier of the sacred wisdom of the Apaza lineage within the Andean spiritual tradition.


He has been walking his spiritual path since the age of 20, dedicating his life to service, healing, and the guardianship of ancestral knowledge. He is recognized as a Chumpi P'aqo, a guardian of these sacred Khuyas and the knowledge of the seven energetic points of the human being - through which the balance between body, energy, and spirit is sustained. His spiritual work is carried out in constant connection with the Chumpi Mesa, the sacred ceremonial altar that guides his healing work, ceremonies, and deep harmonization processes.

As a keeper of this medicine, he travels internationally to share his ancestral Andean medicine, carrying the ancient teachings of the Apaza lineage to communities and spiritual seekers around the world.


Doña Marqueza Apaza
Marqueza is a Ñusta Paqo and medicine woman of the sacred Andean tradition. She is the youngest daughter of Master Alejandro Apaza and belongs to the Apaza lineage, a family of wisdom keepers from the Q’ero Andean community, recognized as the last living descendants of the Inca civilization.


She began her spiritual path at the age of 20, dedicating her life to service, healing, and the transmission of ancestral wisdom. She has been confirmed in the Path of the Rainbow (Kuychi), a sacred path that honors harmony between human beings, Pachamama, and the cosmos.

As a Ñusta Paqo, Marqueza safeguards and shares ancestral knowledge related to ceremonies, energy cleansing, karpaciones, Coca Leaf readings, and deep healing processes, always guided by the Apus and the spirits of nature.

She currently travels to different countries, carrying Andean medicine and the teachings of her lineage, sowing awareness, balance, and spiritual reconnection wherever she goes.

Doña Lucía Apaza
Doña
Lucía is a medicine woman from  the Marcachea community of Q’eros, and a guardian of the ancestral wisdom of the Andean tradition. She has been walking the spiritual path for 21 years, devoted to service, healing, and conscious accompaniment.

She comes from Inca ancestors, carriers of Andean medicine, and works with the Sacred Silver, a ceremonial tool through which she channels cleansing, protection, and energetic harmonization. She is a medicine woman of Huachuma (San Pedro), a sacred ancestral plant of deep wisdom, and carries the gift of connecting and healing through plant medicine and ancestral ícaros, which are sacred healing songs passed down by the elders. Her medicine path is deeply rooted in respect for Pachamama, the Apus, and the spirits of nature. Consciously with the living tradition of her people, she comes to the healing processes with humility, strength, and munay (sacred love), always working in ayni, or balance and sacred reciprocity.
