Real words from the people who have walked a retreat, a ceremony, or a reading with Pachakawa.
Idahlia
United StatesThis retreat was incredible. I’ve been on my journey for about ten years. The last two years things really started to accelerate, but there was something missing. I came with an open mind and no expectations. My mind, body and soul were blown away just after the first day. My dreams brought me vivid messages the first night and continued throughout the retreat. I was able to release what was holding me back from my journey after years of working on it. At one point of the retreat, I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the person I saw. The ceremonial aspect of the retreat was my most cherished memory. It was life changing.
Now two weeks after the retreat I’m still receiving messages in my dreams.
I look forward to returning to continue my journey with this beautiful community.

FranceThe Pachakawa retreat was a wonderful initiation into the sacred elements of nature and the inspiring ancestral rituals, ceremonies, and meditations connected to them. It became a profound revelation of my true self—of what is possible when we come into deeper alignment with who we truly are.
The experience offered me a powerful recalibration of the feminine and masculine within, allowing me to step more fully into who I am, sensing my universal gifts, allowing my purpose to emerge and how I want to express myself in the world.
Only through accessing the depth of my open heart was any of this possible. It was through the unconditional love, wisdom, and ancestral legacy of María Apaza, and under the beautiful guidance of Liliana Herrera, that I was able to surrender, receive, and truly connect with this experience.
I leave Pachakawa with a deeper connection to nature, to my own essence, and to the path that is unfolding before me. With this undeniable and unmeasurable trust.

NetherlandsI had a great coca reading session with Liliana. She is very accurate and devoted to the process and is well connected to mother earth and the energies. She explained everything calmly and gave me time to ask questions. She gave me a great insight into my current life and future life. It was emotional and clear at the same time. I highly recommend her. It was my second session, the first was online and now live in my apartment. Thank you very much sister, you helped me open the pathway to a bright future. Big hugs and continue working this way. 🙏

United StatesI felt very much taken care of by Liliana. There was a lot of calmness and she had attention for every part of my body and I felt very cleansed after. Definitely one of the best massages I ever had!

United StatesI’ve had a couple massages from Liliana now and I’ve been very happy with them. She has a very intuitive approach and can tune into exactly what the body needs. I appreciate how she weaves in a bit of spirituality too. It makes it feel like a ritual, rather than just a massage. She’s surprisingly strong and can definitely get to the deeper muscles if needed. Don’t let her size deceive you!

United StatesI want to thank you, Liliana, for the opportunity to meet you and other wonderful Andean Quechua people. I gained a great deal of knowledge and have developed a deep respect for you and your insights on our connection with nature and how many have lost their way. I truly appreciated the message of your book and have shared it with others. I will find ways to share the message. The wisdom and tradition of Quechua are important for the world to know at this time.

United StatesOur experience in Peru with Liliana Herrera and Pachakawa Mystery School was truly transformative, and I cannot imagine having experienced it with a better guide, teacher, or host.
Liliana is an Andean priestess whose life and training are deeply rooted in the ancient wisdom and spiritual traditions of the Andes. Through her path she carries a profound understanding of the sacred relationship between humanity, nature, and the Divine.
Liliana has an incredibly warm, welcoming, and grounded presence. She is calm and centered in every conversation, whether she is answering questions, sharing a story, or guiding the group through a ceremony. Her delivery is soft, gentle, and unassuming, yet the truths and wisdom contained within her words can be incredibly profound. She has a remarkable ability to communicate deep spiritual concepts in a way that feels natural, accessible, and deeply moving.
Her knowledge of Andean traditions is extraordinary. The stories she shared were captivating, and I often found myself completely absorbed in the history, symbolism, and spiritual meaning behind the places we visited. She didn’t simply show us archaeological sites—she helped us experience them through the worldview and living traditions of the Andean people.
Liliana was also absolutely invaluable when it came to the logistics of our retreat. As a local who knows the region intimately, her resources and connections were remarkable. Our itinerary changed and evolved constantly, and she handled every modification with an incredible level of flexibility and grace. Because of her, the group was able to let go of the logistical concerns and fully immerse ourselves in the experience.
She was equally impressive as a guide in the mountains and archaeological parks. During our hikes, she navigated the terrain with the confidence and awareness of a mountain guide while simultaneously keeping her attention on the group’s morale, safety, and experience. At nearly every step, she was able to provide fascinating information about the land, the history, and the spiritual significance of what we were experiencing.
Perhaps most beautiful of all were the ceremonies and practices she shared with us. Watching Liliana practice her traditions was an experience in itself. Her ceremonies of gratitude created a vivid sense of connection with Mother Earth and invited us to participate rather than simply observe.
I came to Peru expecting to learn, but I learned far more than I anticipated. I ate cleaner than I ever have, connected with the land in ways I had never experienced, and felt completely immersed in the Divine. More than anything, Liliana created a space where I could slow down, listen, learn, and truly be present.
Thank you, Liliana, for sharing your wisdom, your stories, your traditions, and your heart with us. The experience will stay with me for a very long time.
