High-altitude lagoon immersions at four thousand five hundred metres beneath Rainbow Mountain, Andean cosmology and breath, and a Pachamanca earth-oven festival.
The lagoons under Rainbow Mountain are turquoise and very cold, and at four and a half thousand metres the breath is everything.
You will learn the Andean way of greeting a mountain, and then do the rounds beside a lake that has never been warm.
On the last day the earth-oven is opened and the whole valley eats.
