Andean Perspectives on Life, Health, and Wellbeing

Herbal Remedies Workshop

This workshop is designed for those interested in learning more about the culture and wisdom of herbal medicine and remedies in the Peruvian Andes. With one of our local women guides, you’ll walk the hillsides in her community, gathering medicinal plants. Then, you’ll work side-by-side to make an herbal balm or tincture. Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to converse and hear stories from our local woman guide. At the end of the day, you’ll go home with a travel-size herbal balm or tincture. (Please note – we offer anectdoctal stories about the use of herbs in the communities. We do not give medical treatment or advice.)

We can also arrange accomodation in homestays or hotels, on-the-ground transportation, a visit to Machu Picchu, other tours/excursions, visits to other local NGOs, language classes, dance classes, cooking classes, and other cultural experiences!
