MYSTICAL + ANDEAN MEDICINAL PLANT SPANISH
(1 week minimum)
Starting date: Any Monday
Level of Spanish required: Intermediate +
This
course combines both Mystical Spanish and Andean Medicinal
Plant Spanish. Students will learn how to respect nature and
learn how it is responsible for curing people. The perfect
combination for those who love non-traditional western
medicine.
This course takes place both in Cusco where the student will
learn about the medicinal plant course and Spanish Grammar,
and at Huasao a small typical village south of Cusco where
the students will learn about Andean rituals and ceremonies.
Our course begins on Monday. The student will be introduced
to the family he or she will be staying with on Sunday and
will spend the entire week living with them

Mysticism. You will have lunch with your family and by 3:00
P.M: you will be taken to Huasao and be introduced to the
Shaman who will lead this part of our course and guide you
through the Spirit cleansing session.

your family’s home and rest, we will take you to Huasao
again to learn about the ritual on Pago a la Tierra (The
Mother Earth Ceremony). You will be guided to make your own
ceremony after seeing the shaman doing it so you could
present your own offerings. This ceremony was held by our
ancestors to thank the mother Earth for all the benefits
they received from her and local Andeans still perform this
ritual today. This is something you could do wherever you
are.
We will be back in Cusco in the evening and next day we will
visit the city during the morning. The Saturday night will
be your last night with your local family.
