Two good words to describe what the Andes feel like are mystic and sacred. This place respects nature and higher powers, which are the same in local culture. Some type of personal transformation is almost inevitable for anyone who visits these ethereal lands. Retreats to experience both of these ceremonies can be found across the mountains and valleys of Cusco.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ayahuasca<\/strong> is a native flower with hallucinogenic and psychotropic properties. The plant is made into tea, and a trained shaman conducts a special ceremony to help the mix take root in the mind and soul of its drinker. Some claim it cleanses, brings new revelations to the forefront, and can even show the future. Ayahuasca induces a transformative journey to the unconscious mind. Specifically for couples, many feel more closely bonded afterward and find clarity and motivation in their relationship. Some couples suggest that it saved their marriage! Do your research beforehand\u2026it\u2019s not a relaxing or feel-good experience during ingestion. It can make you vomit or pass out. Proceed with caution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Temazcal<\/strong> is another traditional spiritual cleansing ceremony performed around Cusco, but it originated in Mexico. It\u2019s meant to work on mind, body, and spirit. A trained shaman will, again, direct the ceremony, this time in an enclosed, rustic sweat lodge (sauna) in the form of a brick oven, warmed by hot stones piled in the middle of the circular space. Medicinal plants aromatize the air to help in the healing process. People say the experience removes toxins from the physical body and can alleviate mental burdens. Of course, the experience also connects you more deeply with those who experience it with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cconoc-hot-springs-nbsp\">Cconoc Hot Springs&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>For:<\/strong> Relaxed and Nature-Loving Couples&nbsp;<\/em><br><em><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Budget&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several natural hot springs to visit in Peru, but the closest to Cusco is called Los <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/the-top-hot-springs-to-visit-when-in-cusco-and-how-to-get-there\/\"><strong>Ba\u00f1os Termales<\/strong><\/a> de Cconoc!
