Beskrivning

Discover the Witches' Market and participate in the ancestral ritual for Pachamama. We will buy and offer a sweet 'table' to Mother Earth after dining on an Andean 'Apthapi'.
We will begin the tour at the iconic Witches' Market, in the heart of La Paz. There, clients will be able to stroll among colorful souvenir stalls, take photographs, and learn about the ancestral traditions of Andean culture.

We will also visit the shop of a renowned "chiflera," a wise Andean woman who specializes in rituals, who will prepare a "mesa" for us—a traditional offering used in ceremonies of gratitude to Pachamama, which means Mother Earth.

After the tour, we will go to our house for an authentic "Apthapi" dinner: a typical communal meal from the Andes. This feast includes a variety of native potatoes, chuño, charque (dehydrated meat), corn, cheese, and spicy sauce.

After dinner, we will gather in the courtyard to prepare the 'mesa' with all the necessary ritual elements (coca leaves, cinnamon, honey, etc.). Then, we will place the 'table' on the wood previously arranged to make the offering to Pachamama and set it on fire.

In an intimate and respectful atmosphere, next to the warmth of the bonfire, we will drink 'té con té', a local hot drink ideal for the cold nights of La Paz. We will give thanks by the fire for all that we have and also ask for blessings and good fortune for each of the participants in the ritual until the fire transforms the offering into ashes.

We will finish with a special incense burning for the occasion and, after concluding the ritual, clients will return to their respective hotels.
