Shamanic Energy Healing

This experience is interesting because it blends Andean spiritual tradition with something you can feel in your body: a shaman-led cleansing focused on energy points. You get a guided ritual rooted in the Queros community, held at the Temple of The Moon, where the process is designed to shift negative energy into positive energy. I like that it is private and practical to fit into a Cusco day, not a vague spiritual lecture.

Two things I especially like. First, the pickup and drop-off are handled in a private vehicle, so you are not left figuring out transport while you are in a sensitive, calm mindset. Second, the ceremony includes very specific actions around energy points, with the shaman using shamanic stones and moving intentionally around you. One consideration, it is weather-dependent, so plan your day with some flexibility in Cusco.

Key Highlights to Know Before You Go

• Private pickup and drop-off in a private vehicle, with you only sharing the experience with your group
• Temple of The Moon setting at Templo de la Luna for a cleansing ceremony
• Chakra-focused movements guided by the shaman using stones known as khuyas
• Symbolic offering to Pachamama, framed as transmuting negativity into positive energy
• Bring your own water and a snack, plus a warm layer and sunscreen for comfort

A Cusco Ceremony Built Around Energy Points (Not Just Words)

If you come to Cusco, you will see plenty of history, plenty of viewpoints, and plenty of tours that feel like checklists. This one leans spiritual and bodily. The goal is a cleansing of negative energy, followed by a feeling of refreshment and renewal after the ceremony at the Temple of The Moon.

What makes it feel different is the structure of the ritual. It is not only about sitting still and listening. The shaman performs movements around you in energy points called chakras. The process is described as aligned and unlocked through the shamanic stones the shaman carries, which represent sacred mountains and their energy.

You should also know this is designed for you to participate. The info says most travelers can join in, and the experience is offered in English. If you want a hands-on ritual with guidance and a clear flow, this is the kind of activity that can satisfy that.

What the 3 to 4 Hours Feels Like in Real Life

The experience runs about 3 to 4 hours. That is a sweet spot in Cusco. Long enough to feel you actually did something meaningful, short enough that you can still plan a dinner or a relaxed walk afterward.

Because it includes private transportation, the time you spend on the road is part of the package. That matters because you will likely want to arrive calm and not rushed. When I plan a ceremony, I do not want last-minute stress. A punctual pickup and a smooth return help you keep the day from getting messy.

You should also plan for weather. The experience specifically requires good weather. If conditions are poor, you will be offered a different date or a full refund. That is a big deal for Cusco, where your day can change fast.

Templo de la Luna: The Cleansing Ceremony and How It’s Supposed to Work

Stop one is the heart of the tour: Templo de la Luna. This is where the cleansing and energetic healing takes place according to Andean tradition of the Qeros community.

The ceremony is described as connected to the sacred mountains. In this tradition, the shaman maintains communication with these sacred mountains, represented by stones or khuyas carried by the shaman. Those stones are said to come from the place of origin and carry that energy, which the shaman invokes or channels for healing.

Here’s what you can expect during the ceremony itself. The shaman performs movements around you in energy points known as chakras. The idea is that these chakras are aligned and unlocked through the use of the shamanic stones and guided physical actions.

Then comes the culmination: the cleansing of negative energy is completed through an offering delivered symbolically to Pachamama. In the description, Pachamama receives the negative energy, which is then transmuted into positive energy. The end result is framed as a communion of joy and spiritual cleansing, so you leave refreshed.

A quick reality check (so you’re not surprised)

This is a spiritual healing ceremony, so it will feel meaningful in a different way depending on your beliefs. If you approach it open-minded, you will probably enjoy it more. If you are expecting medical-style treatment, you will not find that here. Instead, you will find a guided ritual, centered on intention, symbolism, and energy as understood in Andean tradition.

Why the Qeros Tradition Focuses on Stones, Mountains, and Chakras

It’s easy to treat “energy healing” as vague. What I like here is that the ritual uses concrete elements within the tradition: khuyas (stones), sacred mountains, chakras, and an offering to Pachamama.

The stones matter because they are presented as carriers of specific energy tied to sacred places. That gives the shaman’s work a physical anchor, not just words. The chakra work matters because the ceremony is guided through movements around your energy points, which creates a structured experience you can follow internally, even if you are not sure how to label it.

The Pachamama offering is also a key part of the story. It is the moment that transitions from individual cleansing to a symbolic handoff. The aim is transformation, turning negativity into positive energy, rather than just trying to feel calm temporarily.

If you like spiritual experiences that have a clear flow and tangible components, this structure is one of the better reasons to pick this specific ceremony.

Who Guides You Matters: Master Shaman Basillio and Juan

One of the most praised parts of the experience is the quality of the people guiding it. You may work with a master shaman from the Qeros community, and in at least one case the guide named Master Shaman Basillio led the ritual. You may also have support from an assistant or student who helps translate for you, which is a big practical plus in an English-offered experience.

Another name that stands out from guidance support is Juan, who was described as kind and attentive, making guests feel safe and supported throughout the day. That kind of calm, steady assistance matters, especially when you are doing something personal like an energy healing ceremony.

In other words, this is not just about the location. It is also about how you are handled before, during, and after the ritual.

Logistics That Keep the Day Calm: Private Vehicle Pickup and Return

You have private transportation included. That means you are picked up and returned to your accommodation in Cusco in a private vehicle.

In my experience, this is one of the most important parts of a ceremony. You want a calm start. You do not want to bargain for a taxi, negotiate directions, or show up flustered. The tour is set up so you can show up, breathe, and follow instructions.

The ceremony itself also has admission details listed as free for the ticket at the Temple of The Moon stop. What you are paying for is the guided healing and the private transport that gets you there and back without stress.

What You Need to Bring (And What to Skip)

The organizers are very clear about what helps most during the day. Here’s your checklist so you stay comfortable:

• At least 1 liter of water, and bring more than 1 liter if you can
• A personal snack, fruit is recommended for after the ceremony
• A warm jacket, even if you expect mild weather, because higher-altitude areas can cool down
• Sunscreen

Bottled water is not included. Snacks are not included. The tour notes are practical here: you should carry more than water plus a snack so your body stays steady before and after the ritual.

If you forget water, you might be tempted to push through until later. That can make a spiritual day feel physically annoying. Bring it, even if it feels like extra weight.

The Price: $249 for a Private Ritual That Includes Transport

At $249.00 per person, this is not a budget add-on. But it is also not priced like a large multi-stop “big tour” day.

What you’re really buying is a private shamanic ceremony experience plus private transportation in Cusco. That matters if you care about comfort and privacy. With energy healing, I like not being stuck in a crowded group environment. Privacy also makes it easier for the guide to direct the ritual around you and your group.

If you are the type who values authentic, guided experiences over generic sightseeing, the price can feel fair. If you only want something atmospheric and are not sure about the spiritual format, you may prefer another Cusco activity that is less dependent on your personal resonance.

When This Works Best for You

This ceremony is a good match if you want one of these things:

• A private spiritual experience in Cusco, not a mass tour
• A ritual with a structured sequence, including chakra-focused movements and symbolic offering
• A day planned for comfort, with pickup and drop-off in a private vehicle
• An English-guided experience with translation support if needed

It might be less of a match if you need a strictly secular experience, or if you dislike ceremonies that use symbolism and talk about energy in non-scientific terms. In that case, you might still enjoy it, but go in with clear expectations.

Weather, Timing, and Your Day Plan

Because the experience requires good weather, your best move is to avoid booking it as your only activity on a critical schedule day. Build it into a window where you can swap plans if the ceremony needs a new date.

The experience lasts about 3 to 4 hours, including the time that comes with pickup and return. That means you can usually plan dinner afterward, just keep it flexible if you tend to get tired easily at altitude.

Also, because you’re asked to bring sunscreen and a warm jacket, plan for temperature swings. Cusco afternoons can still feel crisp, especially if you are outside longer than expected.

Should You Book This Shamanic Energy Healing in Cusco?

If you want a private, guided Andean cleansing ceremony at Templo de la Luna, and you like spiritual experiences with a defined structure, I think this is a strong option. The strongest positives are the ceremony itself, the feeling of release and refreshment people described, and the practical, caring support from the guide team, including Master Shaman Basillio and Juan in at least one case.

Book it if you:

• Are open-minded about energy healing and symbolism
• Value smooth logistics with private pickup and return
• Will bring what they ask for: water, a snack, warm layer, and sunscreen

Skip it or pick a different type of tour if you:

• Need a purely secular activity
• Hate being outside in cool weather
• Prefer experiences that are more sightseeing-focused than ritual-focused

If your goal is a meaningful reset day in Cusco, this one is worth putting on your list. Just show up prepared, and give the ceremony the same respect you would give any important appointment.
