The Winter Solstice
in Peru
Myths and Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations
June 19–30, 2025
A Photographic Pilgrimage into the Solar Mysteries of the Andes
Experience the winter solstice where sky meets earth, through an initiatory journey from the Sacred Valley to the shores of Lake Titicaca. Immerse yourself in the living remnants of ancient Inca and pre-Inca civilizations, encountering their myths, sacred temples, and deep connection to cosmic cycles. An invitation to explore — through image and presence — the mysteries of a world where every stone still whispers the story of the Sun and the Earth.
What if you captured more than just an image?
Step into conscious photography
​
Let go of pure technique and allow your gaze to open to the signs, symbols, and resonances of the place. Learn to feel the energy of a sacred space before photographing it — to sense the invisible as much as the light.
​
Immerse yourself at the threshold of mystery
​
Explore ancestral sites steeped in memory — solar temples, forgotten cities, and vibrant ruins — where Andean civilizations communed with the stars and the elements.
​
Open a space for cosmic and inner connection
​
Through guided rituals and sacred practices such as Wachuma and Temazcal, let yourself be moved by the spirit of the solstice: a passage between worlds, a moment ripe for introspection and clear vision.
Step into Timeless Moments
​Watch the sun rise over Lake Titicaca, walk in silence through the Sacred Valley, and enter rarely accessible places where time seems to stand still — making space for pure sensation, deep listening, and wonder.
​
Be Part of a Conscious Circle
​
An intimate group, meaningful conversations, and sensitive guidance for a journey that transforms, illuminates, and connects.
​
Create a Portfolio with Soul
​
Beyond the beauty of the landscapes, capture the imprint of ancient myths, ancestral wisdom, and reflections of your own inner path. A series of living images — mirrors of a forgotten world that still pulses within you.
