Shaman Night Session in Tucume




Peru is a magical place, figuratively and literally. Witchdoctors, shamans, and traditional healers are found across the country, using their ancient knowledge to resolve all kinds of problems, whether it be sickness, a broken heart, spiritual strife, bad luck, or a struggling business venture. This nighttime experience takes you to the home of a shaman, at the foot of the ancient Tucume pyramids. Here you’ll see the craft of the shaman and experience the power of San Pedro.
Your shamanic session begins with your pick you up from your hotel in Chiclayo at 8 p.m. We’ll then drive out to the archaeological site of Tucume, where the shaman will greet us at his home near the pyramids. The shaman will show us some of the ancient practices used in the healing sessions, including his array of traditional medicines. You’ll learn how the shaman blends indigenous traditions with Christian beliefs, and you’ll hear him recite mystical sentences that only he knows, while herbs, perfumes, and stones infuse every visitor with both spiritual and physical strength.
After this, it will be time to take San Pedro, a hallucinogenic drink whose liquid comes from the San Pedro cactus (named for its ability to open the gates of heaven). San Pedro lets you enter a trance-like state, which has the potential to heal even the deepest wounds at many levels, both for individuals and societies. It is known as a “teacher plant” and has much to offer anyone looking for a profound experience.
While in the trance, the master shaman calls out to the participants, telling them what he sees, be it something affecting their health, welfare, work, or love. He can then attempt to resolve these problems using traditional shamanic ingredients such as lotions, tobacco smoke, and candles.
After the shamanic healing session, at around 1 a.m., we’ll drive back to Chiclayo and drop you off at your hotel.
