30 days activities

IntiTravel.Org has a unique theme than normal proces to rediscover what you have inside your self.

Among the daily activities of the Andes, there is hidden ancestral knowledge, such as seeing the weather for the coming year in the month of August, you will be able to participate in part of the process of potato production and other products while they rest other cultivated land for 7 years for a better production, Amongst so many ancient knowledge you will also witness that the monetary system is not paramount to the daily activities in the Andes but rather everything is based on the Inka system of reciprocity (ayni), textiles, clothing and more which is being lost more and more.

Family Therapy

Unlike other participatory tourism services in this service you will have a translator for the daily events and to be the interpreter of the life therapy, based on the Inka method (history, science and simplicity) while living in the Andes, while rediscovering the simplest way of living that nature offers and to be able to recreate it wherever you go, attesting to the positive results for the physical, mental and environmental body by living a simple life, but actually it should be said: a natural life. This is the ultimate expression of re-learning about life and fulfilling the goal of IntiTravel.Org’s – Sponsoring life.

The activities that will be carried out and described in the plan will not necessarily follow the order, because the order of the activities is governed by nature and the general life of the villagers that revolves around agriculture.

The star product is the potato, since ancient times after harvesting the potato the land was made to rest for 7 years, luckily here this Inka wisdom is still preserved, one year before sowing the land is ploughed with pure human strength, during this time the guano (cattle manure) is gathered, when it is time to sow the guano and the seed is taken to the field on donkeys, During its growth, care and attention is given to it to guarantee production. Between the months of May and June is when it is harvested and it is celebrated by cooking the produce in earthen ovens made at that time to eat the most awaited dish of the year: watia. The labour required is not remunerated monetarily but rather is established in terms of reciprocity of work. There are many other activities that take place during the year around potato production.

If life revolves around agriculture, livestock makes life revolve around it. It is a daily job when you have sheep because the llamas go off by themselves and come back alone, it is a full day activity and requires a lot of attention so that the fox does not take any sheep, although the dogs are the number one guardians, the fox is a fox and has its tricks.

From rebuilding a wall to building a new house, we don’t know which one you will attend but in the camp there is always something to be done in the same person’s house, in a neighbour’s house or for the good of the community, and when the work is done for others it is done on the basis of reciprocity. All construction activities generally start from the basics, such as collecting the materials for construction.

It is not only about washing dishes or clothes, because here the kitchen leaves ash every day and it has to be removed to another place for storage for agricultural purposes, check the deposits, on the other hand the stable (canchón) is at the side of the house and the guano every so often has to be cornered for storage and drying for the next planting. In short, there is always something to do in the countryside.

Is an activity for all ages, from children to the elderly, it is done as a daytime activity or as a daytime activity, culturally it is done while the animals are grazing, gathering the dry branches and carrying them on your shoulder or back while you return with the animals. Nowadays there are many eucalyptus trees and you can cut down a tree like a lumberjack.

This is to participate in the preparation of the food and learn about the products of the area, storage, the basic and simple diet that predominates in the Andes. The highlight of this activity is the simplicity of the kitchens in which the food is prepared, without the variety of flavours that has kept alive a culture that was repressed to the brink of extinction.
