  • Very informative

    Had my first retreat near oxapampa in May ( run by women FOR women ) due to the risks of dangerous retreats especially for women being made vulnerable / assaulted whilst high on ceremonial gatherings . I’m home now and had heard of the dangers but I didn’t realise so many tourists disappeared. Good knowledge and tips thank you .

  • Thank you

    This is the most helpful podcast I’ve found on Peru. We are visiting Cusco in May and I wrote down so many great tips from this podcast. Podcast show runner, would love to buy you a drink when in Peru but can’t find your name or “about” info on your site!
