Mystic Machu Picchu

You can feel the energy of Machu Picchu right from the beginning. If you get the full package and can welcome the new day in Machu Picchu, you will know exactly what all those thousands of visitors felt, at six and a half in the morning, with a thin mist just fading to unveil the magnificence of that magic place. The panoramic makes you feel like floating, weightless. At the bottom, the ruins wait for your touch, to persuade yourself you´re not dreaming; that you are truly there, that all of that mixed nature and human achievement is really there, as it was for hundreds of years, hidden and proud. That is the kind of pure, pristine and natural energy you will get full of. But that is not enough; you are there for more: the mystic energy. And it´s all around Machu Picchu, at your hands reach. There are many theories about why the incas decided to build Machu Picchu right in that place. Some researchers discovered that the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu draw concentric circles, in which center are the ruins of Machu Picchu. The incas believed the Cosmos itself gave them that mystic place to build Machu Picchu. So they concentrate all their mighty efforts to build it, using all of their cosmological, architectural and technical knowledge to make this Wonder of the World. Other discoveries point in that mystic direction, like the shape of the Urubamba river, a gigantic snake that passes through the ruins while licking their mountain´s feet; or the puma face on one of the sides of the Huayna Picchu. Other studies say the shape of the Sacred Valley of Urubamba reminded the incas of the Milky Way. All of this signs were also added to the planning of the city, combining them with a unique style. The result was one of the most magic and mystic sites of the world, believed to concentrate a huge part of the planet and cosmos energy. It could sound crazy, but let´s open our minds just for a minute to ponder this. There are many spiritual ceremonies that took place in Machu Picchu. One of the most famous inca rituals is the Coca Ritual. Its origins are lost in ancient times, even before the incas, when man was deeply, mystically connected with nature. The natives knew how to read the breathing of a tree, to explain the sudden fly of birds, to wait for the solstices and equinoxes. They surrender themselves to the power of nature, weather and wildlife. Every expression of it was magic, everything had a meaning. They recognized that power and submitted their lives to them, asking for their mercy, first by sacrifices, later by rituals, like the Coca Ritual. This was used to know the destiny, if the harvest would be good or bad, if their people would be happy, or a calamity were approaching. They paid tribute to the sun, the apus and the wild entity that they thought where inside every living thing. The jaguar, the condor, the snake; the incas saw them as spiritual representatives of the cosmos energy on earth. An energy captured inside every rock of Machu Picchu. A power that could be perceived only by few, like the shamans, inheritors of the inca´s wisdom. Holding the leaves to the Apus and the winds, this bringers of spirituality sing quechua formulas to awake the mountain spirits, praying for their protection. Besides the Coca Ritual -the paying to the pachamama (mother land)-, Shamans also can see your personal destiny by the Reading of the Coca Leaves. Machu Picchu includes lots of mystic tours, a whole different journey, full of magic and mysteries. They could take a few kilometers of the Inca Trail, or vanish right in the middle of nowhere. They could show some ancient petroglyphs strategically placed, or include the visit to the secret spots of energy all over the circle of mountains; the energy walls of Machu Picchu. As a part of the mystic energy of Machu Picchu, there are a variety of medicinal plants, used in hot springs baths, relax drinks, or some exotic species thought to have powerful healing properties. Their vapors and fragrances are an open door to enjoy the welfare and pleasure in other dimension. And just for the believers: the extraterrestrial connection of Machu Picchu. Part of this theory explains the formidable ability of this people, the perfection of their constructions, based on geometrical data so sophisticated, even now is hard to understand. Were the Incas the only builders of Machu Picchu? Where all of this knowledge came from? Are their unknown bringers still visiting the result of their sharing, their masterpiece? Would it be the same that happened in Egypt, Babylon or Mexico? Even the so called “exopolitics” have its place in Machu Picchu. With a lack of a complete explanation – a mystery so huge even now- it´s another way of trying to find the truth, holding the answer right in the middle of nowhere. It could reach you walking through the forest in the Inca Trail, or drinking from the eternal waters of the aqueduct. It could happen while looking through one of the Three Windows, or trying to catch the Sun at the Intiwatana. Or you could breathe it from a sudden breeze in the middle of your climbing to the top of the Huayna Picchu. It doesn´t matter where you are, the mystic energy of Machu Picchu will reach you, entering your spirit without a warning. Don´t be afraid, enjoy it. Let that energy be your guide, back to routine, where no conventional medication is enough to heal the isolation, the lack of meaning in an allegedly perfect society. Are you a believer? Then consider Machu Picchu in your way for seeking the truth. Take a trip to machu Picchu: you´ll get the journey of your life.
