Signature Ritual · Our most complete experience
Inka Ritual Massage: an Andean ceremony
More than a massage, an Andean ceremony: a cleansing with rosemary and Palo Santo, an offering to Pachamama and the Apus, the teaching of the Chakana and a deep massage with warm volcanic stones — two hours to realign body, mind and spirit.
The 4 stages of the ceremony
-
Andean cleansing (limpia)
We begin with a traditional limpia: rosemary and other aromatic Andean herbs, the smoke of Palo Santo and sea salt purify your body and your energy before the ceremony.
-
Call to Pachamama and the Apus
With a k’intu — an offering of coca leaves — and Andean corn, we call on Mother Earth and the Apus, the sacred mountains that protect Cusco, asking permission and blessing for your healing.
-
The teaching of the Chakana
Your therapist explains the Chakana, the Andean cross, and what it means for the balance of body, mind and spirit. Together you set an intention: what you want to release and what you want to receive.
-
Ritual massage with hot stones
Guided by the Chakana, the massage travels the whole body with warm volcanic stones and deep, unhurried ancestral touch to release tension and restore your vital energy.
What we use in this ritual
- Rosemary and Andean aromatic herbs
- Palo Santo
- Warm volcanic stones
- Sea salt
- Coca leaves (k'intu)
- Andean corn
The Chakana: the Andean cross that guides the ritual
The Chakana, or Andean cross, is one of the most important symbols of the Andean worldview. Its Quechua name is often translated as “bridge” or “ladder”: a link between the worlds. Its four arms point to the four directions, its twelve corners are related to the cycles of the year, and the circle at its center is associated with Cusco, the navel of the world.
The three worlds
- Hanan Pacha — The upper world of the spirit, represented by the condor.
- Kay Pacha — This world, the here and now of the body, represented by the puma.
- Uku Pacha — The inner world, of roots and ancestors, represented by the serpent.
Its three principles
- Munayto love
- Yachayto know
- Llankayto work
In the ritual, the Chakana becomes a map: we cleanse and release what weighs on you, reconnect the body with the earth and the spirit, and let the massage bring all three worlds back into balance.
